Self And Community Week 6

This meeting was the firtst time I was meeting with Mr. Ramirez for two weeks. It seemed that his enthusiasm had doubled since the last time. He appeared excited to see me. When we settled at the Smith building, he pulled out an English book which he had recently purchased at the bookstore. Apparrently he had been working on the excerises in the book for quite a while because I noticed that he had already gone some distance through the book. Also, he informed me, with a big simle on his face, that another person from our class had been assigned to him.
During the meeting, I went through the the exercises in his book with him for about forty minutes. After I noticed that he was at saturation point, I suggested that he took a break from the book and picked up next time. We then worked on his writing skill by means of an exercise which involved me dictating passages from the Daily Skiff and him writing what I dictated. However, the words in the Skiff were too complex for him at this level. I therefore promised to come for the next meeting with passages with more basic vocabulary.
This ocomplteted another successfu,l meeting with Mr Ramirez.
