On July 14, I met with Astin at the Stone building. Astin seemed distracted, and not so interested in learning today. I asked him if he was tired, and he responded that he had met with his other tutors that day. I could tell that he was tired of doing the same repetitive lesson. This has happened multiple times; I have prepared a lesson for Astin, and I unknowingly plan the same lesson that his other tutors have prepared as well. On top of that, by the time that I meet with Astin, he is already burned out from the other tutoring lessons. Luckily, I was able to improvise and find something that Astin would find interesting. I had a worksheet that dealt with writing skills and reading comprehension. Astin had to guess what the picture was and then write down the word that he believed it to be. Even though he was tired, he seemed engaged with the activity.
