Tutoring Section 7 with Michaella
Date/Time: April 15, 2016/ 9:30 a.m.-11:00a.m.
Location: Starbucks near the Trader Joe’s on the Thomasville
Road
Topic/Skill: Grammar and Informative (direct) writing/the
practice of Beginning Sentence Correction 6 and writing an informative essay for
the article titled; “2 Years After Boko Haram Kidnapping, the Search Goes On
for Nigerian Girls” from the New York
Times: http://nyti.ms/20DylmA
Feedback provided to tutee: During the practice of Beginning
Sentence Correction 6, Michaella gave me an important feedback about the
question of “who is coming to dinner?” I thought for bunch of people I should
use “are” instead of “is.” She explained to me even I am asking for more than
one person I should say or write “is.” Example is who is coming to dinner?”
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: During
the writing section what I learned from Michaella is the importance of first
paragraph in informative/direct writing. This is the paragraph that catches the
reader. We worked on my first paragraph.
