In this tutoring session with PJ we read a short story and we answered short response questions. PJ went through very quickly. The questions asked PJ to answer in complete sentences only once did he answer in a not complete sentence and it was only because he forgot. The short story was about a man and his elephant and how he would show off in front of the town. He built a giant house to brag to his neighbors but the elephant crushed his house and destroyed it. PJ loved this story, and didn't need much help answering the short responses.




PJ had his own book that he began reading for Accelerated Reading. This requires him to read a certain amount of books and then answer questions about the books. The book that he was reading was a graphic novel. The novel however seemed to be targeted for high schoolers because it contained political jokes that obviously PJ didn't understand. I believed it would be very dry and not a fun book to read for PJ. I found myself explain a lot of what he was reading because he just wouldn't understand what he was reading.
