Session Summary:
Anjay brought his A-game to tutoring today in no uncertain terms! I am *very* proud of the work he did today. We continued our handling of the present tense of the verb sum and of the predicate in Latin. We finished the session with a fun exercise that elucidates the importance of thinking outside the box that I like to do with my students. Anjay, as so many students do, fell into the trap set by the exercise, which was not at all a problem, because it allowed me to give him my speech about the how and why of creative, higher-order, outside-the-box thinking and how it is a disappearing art (much to our collective and individual peril). Anjay was a great sport about the exercise, and I feel he garnered a great deal of personal insight from it. Great, great job today, Anjay! Try not to fall down next time and get yourself all scraped up!!
