Tutee: Amirah
Amirah liked playing the game taboo during our conversation partner session because she said it forced her to think about the words in English that would relate, and the pressure is also there driving that rush within to figure something out quickly. So today I decided to show her a similar game, but it is a phone app called Heads up. I was hesitant at first because a lot of the categories would be virtually useless because of the complete musical and pop culture differences between her entertainment and mine. But we changed the act it out to sentences describing the action- it was difficult but fun. We did this for a little bit while sometimes introducing new words or names for things that were sometimes new concepts. I always write the words down in her binder along with the way to say it and the part of speech, I can see her repeat the word under her breath repeatedly each time. Today was fun, the hour went by quickly and we hung out for a bit after to chat with Ibrahim.
