September Mayo #15 March 3rd

Jeongmin March 3rd FAB LAB 10 pm - 12 am  listening comprehension

Jeongmin and I always have a great time talking.  He is really coming out of his shell and has been so gracious to allow me to tutor him although originally he had asked for a conversation partner.

Today we talked about the Ides of March, though a Roman begun "superstition" regarding how Julius Caesar was murdered due to being stabbed 23 times.

I read  the following article to my tutee
http://www.history.com/news/ask-history/what-are-the-ides-of-march

I had devised many TOEFL style questions to evaluate his comprehension.  Jeongmin is very intelligent and has proven to be a master at written fluency.  However, he needs some encouragement with the listening and speaking.  We had a good time talking about Caesar and history.  He seems to be interested in history and prehistory as well, which makes it so great since I am taking a prehistory Anthropology class.
