Selene TP-14

Matthew and I had a great session today. Our lesson was based on metaphors and similes which is fun for me because I really enjoy poetry. Also, I think these re great because they encourage the student to think creatively and get a little silly. Matthew hates writing but adding a component of fun and creativity makes it seem less like work. He came up with some really awesome metaphors and similes and we joked that he might become a famous poet someday. I think these sessions are becoming less like a chore for him which was one of my goals. I worry that he might be a little overworked between summer camp, swimming, and multiple tutors. I brought in some stickers to give him as a reward, which he loved. His brother was very jealous. Today we were able to have fun while also practicing grammar and writing.
