Quote of the day: “We are governed not by armies, but by ideas.” – Mona Caird
By: Jim Leslie
Today marked the beginning of the third and final week in New Akrade for Dan and Jim. Dan spent his morning in the primary school classrooms where he corrected math exercises, and corrected English reading tests.
For Jim, his responsibilities changed at the junior high school. Instead of spending a lot of time in English and social studies classes, he worked with small groups of students on their English reading skills. With these students, he modeled certain steps that should be taken before reading any material that is in English: Look at any pictures that may go with the reading, look at the recall questions that are at the end of the reading, and identify and define any of the reading’s words that you may not know before beginning the reading.
Jim continues to enjoy his one-to-one work with a Togolese student in P6 who speaks French but does not speak English.
