Today I met with Hamad during lunch time. We started out with talking about Ramadan and how he is doing with his fasting. Hamad told me that it is very hard because he is away from his family and the days are very long in Florida. He said that the days are around three to four hours longer than in Kuwait. It was very interesting hearing how Hamad can be in a foreign place and do so well. He has a lot of ambition and drive. After we started on the lesson that I had. I used Charlie’s online preposition preposition exercise (thanks Charlie!) and it worked very well. The exercise is listed below but it is a paragraph with spaces that contain three preposition options. I first asked Hamad if he could tell me each one without using the drop down menus. He did get most of them, however, some were a little difficult. We wrote the ones that he could not get and worked on them a little more in detail. The most difficult sentence was “we sat _______ campfires and went dancing ______ the early mornings.” The first one had the choices of “over, at, round” and the second had the choices of “ for, against, till.” Hamad was able to guess each answer correctly with the options present. However, he did say that trying to answer those without the options would be impossible for him. I will keep working with Hamad on his prepositions and create a few more lesson plans for him before he goes back to Kuwait on break.
