This is the class assignment

Sharon this never got delivered to your email from Tuesday's class
so I am trying this method.
There is no fancy table.


Student
Cesar is a middle school student with SLD – in Reading/ vocabulary
He also has a difficult time focusing his attention
He is a teenager who is more interested in being cool and avoiding work than completing assignments.

Cesar and I have a great relationship. He got a girl pregnant during the summer, started smoking lots of dope and came back to school a lost 9th grader. He was one of my best students last year – raising his reading from 2.5 to now 5th grade. Although he does not like to work he will. Today we were writing a paragraph and he was avoiding the assignment. I sat down with him one on one and worked through the assignment with him. The AT for Cesar is minimal yet I believe it would be effective. 2nd graphic organizer I used was for the Topic Sentence. Who, What, and Why. By simply answering these questions at the end of reading the topic sentence is done.
Environment
Needs a small group environment for focus.
Cesar needs motivation to start task and continue. By supplying him with a personal tape recorder with the featured story for him to listen to he will feel special and yet keep his focus. On a computer he would be on U-tube in 2 minutes.

Task
Task is writing a paragraph and the first AT that would help Cesar to complete his task would be to listen to the reading out loud.
By using a simple CD player with earphones he can keep focused and read along with the book. This helps him focus on the reading. After listening to the specific pages he can begin the writing assignment.

The writing assignment is arranged by asking 3 questions that correspond to the 3 supporting sentences. These questions are written on a piece of paper that each student has a copy of.
A graphic organizer is used for writing the paragraph. Topic sentence: Supporting sentences, Details for each and conclusion

From this site I found colored tape that I could use to highlight the three questions on the work sheet that would assist him to stay focused.
