Ning Liu TP#9

Sally and Rayna had completed the homework I had asked them to do, but there were multiple errors. In the homework, I asked for both the definition and their own sentences for each word. I went over each of the words one by one. For the most part, they understand each word. Adhere, for example, was one that they understood perfectly. However, the word adapt was a little bit difficult. They did not understand what “adapting to the surrounding” meant. Their definitions were fine, but to actually use them in sentences was still a bit difficult. I created multiple scenarios with multiple example sentences. For example, I talked about how in middle school, I only had 4 T-shirts and 3 pairs of pants. Once I went into high school, I noticed that nobody only wears normal T-shirts and pants anymore, so I went to the mall and bought new clothes to fit in. I adapted to my new high school surroundings. After a few tries, the two understood the word a bit better. We created more sentences to make sure Sally and Rayna understood how to use the word. Afterwards, I tested them on 4 new words, since last time, 10 was too much. In the same fashion, I asked them to spell the word, and then write what they thought the words meant. This was a relative success, with the words:

Parody
Priority
Precise
Provoke

The girls seem to have understood these words much better than the ones previous. Sadly, time ran out before we could play the Apples to Apples game. Again, I gave the girls the same homework.
