Today Saja and I worked on grammar. We first got her
speaking presentation results back and I helped her with a few sentence corrections she needed help on. It seems that the whole class was deducted points because they did speak
for the entire allotted time. What Saja had trouble understanding was why you say "in August" rather than "on August". I explained that Leslie was talking about on
August first. What she had said in her presentation was that her friend’s
birthday fell within the month of August. There was no specified date. Afterwards
we worked on an error correction worksheet. They will have a quiz very similar
to the one they did today tomorrow.
Then they worked on future tense. Saja really struggled with
this. Though she could complete the sentence when directly given the formula,
her fluency was not up to par just yet. As a result, when Leslie called on her
she did not recite the answer correctly though she knew what she wanted to say.
With more practice this tense will become easier.
