Jordan TS#15

On August 10 I tutored David for the sixth and final time. We started with scene writing from his workbook. It asked him to describe an attic in winter. Doing this exercise was like pulling teeth. I was bound and determined that we were going to describe an attic in the winter. David tried the path of least resistance with things like "I don't see anything" and "I don't hear anything", which I allowed as long as he put why and used complete sentences. We got a nice five sentence paragraph, and I felt as satisfied as I was going to get. Moving on, we went to me reading aloud from a book about why you wouldn't want to be an Aztec sacrifice. David didn't want to read it, but I was really trying to channel my inner Marco. We got through the whole thing with a little discussion on Aztec culture. Interestingly, as part of David's diversion tactics (or general unfocused nature) he ended up reading some of the side bits of information about the culture while I was trying to read the main story like parts. Then we spent some time trying to find something else to read, but I made sure to keep us on track as much as possible. It felt pretty good to actually get stuff done. I feel like there is more room for improvement, but I felt good for my last session with David.
