     My second tutoring session with the two girls was on the day before July 4^th. As a result, I thought it to be appropriate and wise to have an English activity involving American’s day of Independence. As well as holding the desire to make the lesson fun, I brought word searches of July 4^th terms such as “barbecue”, “freedom”, “colonies” and “fireworks”. I also wrote a list of at least sixteen Independence terms and refreshed them on their meanings. After that schema building activity, I instructed the girls to draw a picture that included at least eight of these terms, then share it witch each other and try to find the included terms. I even made one myself to give the girls more to observe. After this activity, I showed them the different categories of fireworks and we pronounced them all together, the hardest one being “chrysanthemum”.  I asked them what they were doing for their 4^th of July and they told me they were going to spend time with their Korean church group in a park. I’m glad they can get a nice sense of the makes the 4^th of July so great.
