Date/Time: 23 May / 7:30 - 8:30PM
Location: Tutee's home
Topic/Skill: Reading comprehension and
pre-writing i.e. organization
Feedback provided to tutee: My child tutee accidentally forgot his book
that we were supposed to read together at school so we started one of his I Survived books instead, and it was clear
that he was more than familiar with the material since we breezed through the
first few or so pages. He ended up telling me that he has taken a quiz on the
book before so I helped him with some homework for the remainder of the
session. He was instructed to write about a past event or memory and he wanted
to write about a recent field trip he took. I showed him a basic mind map to
help him outline the major things that happened and gave him an example of how
I would fill it out if I was going to write about what I did over the past
weekend.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned:
I learned to be flexible during this session. As soon as PJ told me he had
already read and been quizzed on this material before, I asked him if he would
like to use our time working on something else and he brought up his writing
assignment to work on instead.
