In Which Tutoring Is, Once Again, Good.

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of tutoring of an eighth grader in English Grammar. 

We were identifying prepositions, object of the prepositions*, and direct objects.

After completing ten or so sentences, I had him create some sentences of his own. Here are some (unedited). 

1. Sam threw the pie at Bob. 

2. The boy tried to climb through the tree with the squirrel. 

3. The president should not have won the election. 



We also had this conversation: 

Student: Do you have Comcast? 

Me: No

Student: Dish,  Direct Tv, any kind of cable? 

Me: Nope, we have the basic stuff. 

Student: *Blank Stare* 

Me: Like, um...Fox and News10 and Channel 3 or 4...

Student: So all the boring channels? 

Me: No! We have weather too!**

***End of Post


*abbreviation for object of the preposition was OTP. I laughed inwardly many times at this. 

**This was not received well. Apparently weather is not an *exciting* topic. 

***This could be considered a somewhat bland post. I'm posting it more to remind myself that sessions can go well without meltdowns or huge breakthroughs. This is a good representation of a normal session. A few laughs and a few struggles, but overall success.
