My Internship project is going to be helping a 1st grader named Celeste. Without help, her writing is complete gibberish and impossible to understand. However, she can easily articulate sentences out loud and write all the words separately, but putting the words together is very hard for her. I am going to be helping her improve her writing. Right now I have been asking her what she wants to write about, the specific sentence, and writing yellow lines where all of the words are supposed to go. This has seemed to help and she is even getting better when she writes on her own. The main skill this project will take is patience. I have to be extremely patient while she writes her words slowly and thinks of her sentences. I will need support from my mentor when I need help and I will need support from all of the other kids in the class. They need to bare with Celeste while she is learning and try not to bug me too much while I am counseling with her. Overall, I think that this will be a very cool project. I have her writing from before and I will have it at the end of the semester, so we can (hopefully!) see a clear difference.
