Summaries, Grammar

Today we went over a short article and summaries. The article was on penguins, and there was a lot of unfamiliar vocabulary for Sheila, but I pulled up pictures and we went through the article to make sure she understood it. Then we discussed how to write a summary. She had a worksheet that walked her through it and she seemed to have a hard time understanding the point of a summary. But she already had one written and it summarized the first paragraphs of the article very well, so we just added the last one. She needs to be more confidant in her work. When she knows the vocabulary her sentences are good, its just when she has trouble understanding that she has a hard time wording sentences. She has definitely learned a lot, and its easier to communicate with her and she understands me more than the first week we met.
