Today I had my last tutoring session with Isik. It was bittersweet because Isik has been such a joy to work with. I will miss our time together! We have worked on various aspects of formal writing, and I can happily say that I've seen her writing improve greatly over the last seven weeks. I've given her the basic guidelines for informative, persuasive, and descriptive writing, which we worked on today. Isik expressed her concern for descriptive writing because it often requires a large vocabulary. Once Isik was done writing, we went through her essay together to see how we could add more descriptive language to her writing. We took her sentence, "I observe the trees, birds, squirrels, and even deer" and changed it to "I observe the long, narrow trees, cheerful cardinals, playful squirrels, and misguided family of deer." Overall, it was a very productive session, and I look forward to keeping in touch with Isik in the future :)
