Topic/skill: Independent work and review of assigment

Olivia James - group 1/2

They have the class period to write their assignment. They are writing a story, the prompts is up to the discretion of the student. They are going to use this class period and the next to meet the due date of tomorrow night. When they finish the work they give it to the professor for her to review. They seem  to be advanced as she speak to them also with colloquial phrases. I went to a separate location to watch her proofread one of the students stories. She reads aloud to them when proofreading their work with them one at a time. Asking them why they use the verb tenses they use. A lot of positive feedback on the clarity of the writing. For example that their sentences connect and she can see the purpose and organization of each sentence. She helps them rewrite a lot of their phrases in order to improve the delivery of their message, but when it comes to grammar she has them fix their own mistakes. She asks them what they want their message to be and then helps them rewrite their paragraphs. Always talking them through what mistakes she makes. She always asks them if they understand the vocabulary she uses when she rewrites a sentence for them. She is always emphasizing the structure of what an essay is and the best way to reinforce the effectiveness of key tools such as the introduction and topic sentences. Always giving definitions and explanations for their purposes.
