[MOSAIC] Tutoring Suggestions for a 2nd grader with above grade level skills

[Debbie Goodis]

My gifted 2nd grader ( who will not be 8 until this summer) wrote a speech. It was about the importance of school. It was very rudimentary and not well developed. So I decided to "teach her" how to write a speech. First, she listened to Severin Suzuki, who, when she was 13, addressed the UN regarding Global issues. Here's the link.

Her parents helped with this. She watched the video and then I gave her an outline to follow. She "revised" her speech and gave it over our closed circuit TV to the entire school. Except for talking really fast, she did an amazing job. This assignment was according to the suggestions for enhancing experiences for Gifted and Talented. She had and interest and I helped her follow her interest. She's now writing a short book. She's amazing.
