Isik and I met at our usual spot, Starbucks, to complete our seventh tutoring session. I prepared an error correction worksheet and printed an article from the New York Times about the kidnapping of the Nigerian girls. Isik mentioned how much she enjoys the error correction worksheets because it it gives her great practice with writing. She also seemed very interested in the Boko Haram article, which helped spark her creativity. I had Isik read the article and write a page long informative piece on the subject. She spent 15-20 minutes writing, and then we reviewed together. By reading the essay aloud, we noticed that Isik definitely had all the right content, she was just unable to structure the sentences correctly. We spent 10-15 minutes revising the essay and brainstorming ideas of how to reword a sentence so that her thought process was presented clearly to her audience. Overall, it was a very productive tutoring session and I look forward to our next one!
