He seemed to be keen to have me keep him on track so he will be in a good position to do his next in class essay in the second last week of October. He sent me a copy of the reading guide booklet for me to get started.
He expressed a need to take on the feedback from his essay and use this feedback to improve his score in the next assignment.

We both had completed the chart and most comprehension questions. He had some differing responses to mine and we had some discussion on the matter. He wanted to delve into some discussion on the major theme of the ambivalence of beauty and perfection in the novel as this relates to the sample essay question.

I gave a brief and very summative lecture on the history of western classical music so he could better contextualize what the characters were talking about and the intentions of the author were made more clear.
We both need to read more of the book and finish the questions, get a comprehensive list of quotes relating to the themes of beauty and perfection and a set of glossary terms as the language in the book is complex for the untrained musicians, such as we are.
He had done some work on the novel and questions I had assigned for August. It served him well to do the review of chapters 1 and 2 in Oxford English 8.

He had to read another book for his new school. I will need to align my lessons to reflect what he is doing in school. More communication with his parents as they have access to his assignments.
