Reflection February 14 and 16

I have two buddies at Curtis Strange, Ashley and John, when I met with them on February 9 they had picked out the people they wanted to study. Ashley has Rosa Parks and John has Maya Angelo. When I got there on Tuesday both of them had a decent amount of research already written down for their people. I looked over their information and helped them organize it a bit better by teaching them to label each section of their notes. The continued to look up information and I guided them to try and pick out the information they were looking for. They both said that on Thursday they would bring books about their people so we can go through them.

By Thursday they had almost all of their information about their people finished, we went through the books and picked out a couple more important things to add onto their notes. As I looked over their notes I realized they had not properly cited their information, so we went back through and properly cited each of their websites and books. We were than able to start making their outlines and sentences; we began going page-by-page and writing two complete sentences for each. We got to about page 4. It has started to get difficult because they are both on the same part and they both need a little more help and attention with organizing things.

When meeting with them on Tuesday I hope to finish up all of their sentences and be able to turn it into their teacher so it can be Okayed. Than we will be able to place it into the outline book and have them draw their pictures. I am hoping my either Thursday or Tuesday next week we will be able to start the story kit. If we are not able to move onto the story kit yet I have the students use popplet and organize the information a bit more.
