Reflection+10




 * __Reflection for May 1st and 3rd__**

Since we are finished with the Storykit, on Tuesday Miguel and I played some grammar games. Also on Tuesday, we accomplished sharing the VoiceThread that I created to reflect on the whole buddy experience. Thursday began with a few minutes of grammar games, but then Antonio Freeman came to speak, so the grammar activities ceased.

First of all, Miguel does not enjoy playing the grammar games. We haven’t really found one that is at the appropriate skill level and he likes the game itself. We have played games with one half of that, but not the other, making the full package. For this reason, Miguel does not want to play the grammar games. He is very resistant to it and would prefer to play less academic games. This was the major challenge, Miguel not wanting to do the appropriate activity and not listening to me. I tried to overcome this by telling Miguel had had X more minutes until we switched to the grammar game, that way he could do whatever he wanted to in that period.

I was supportive by trying to keep Miguel on-track with what he was supposed to be doing. But, in the next session, I could do a better job of keeping him motivated to play the grammar games.

This week we will be playing more grammar games, so I need to think about how to keep Miguel motivated and come up with a trick or plan for that.
