Emilie TS #11

Student: Je-Ah
Date/Time: Thursday, 11/14, 7 a.m.
Location: Online (Teams)
Topic: Talking about art
Feedback provided to the tutee: I provided Je-Ah with some new words and vocabulary related to art, including design, illustration, animation, character design, sketch, pose, shape, layer, model, composition,  etc.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: Because art is a subject I know pretty well, I fear this turned into more of a lecture lesson than a mutual discussion lesson. But, we at least still went through questions related to art together. I've started making a mini lesson plan via Google slides before every lesson now, which is very helpful in guiding our time together.

  Tutoring session #20: December 13 3pm Location: Student Union Topic: Christmas Culture Feedback provided to the tutee: Since this was the last time we would be meeting for the semester I decided to do simple reading comprehension and discussion. For the reading comprehension I gave a passage about “Novenas” which is a Colombian Christmas tradition. The feedback I gave was correction on the multiple choice and free response answers on the work sheet I provided. Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: It was a lot of fun being able to share my culture with Miguel. I could tell he was invested the more I was able to explain my own traditions in my family. It was great to connect with Miguel at this level.

  Tutoring session #17: December 8 3pm Location: Student Union Topic/skill: Listening comprehension in casual conversation Feedback provided to the tutee: This session we also conducted a dictionary comp exercise but from casual conversation. I recorded a conversation with my friend ahead of time of us talking about how we are studying for finals week and our plans for winter break. The feedback I provided was first some vocabulary and linguistic support then we went through and made sure he caught all of the words and I asked him a general comprehension question. Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: Lessons about the tutee that I learned is that the repetition definitely does help as well as the fill in the blank as what he still struggles with is minimal pairs and hearing the differences between certain words. However he still can comprehend a lot through context clues but it’s important he learns to decipher minimal pairs and their meanings.

  Tutoring session #18: December 9 4pm Location: Student Union Topic/skill: Debate Feedback provided to the tutee: In this session we did a speaking exercise focusing on debate. This consisted of open discussion that followed some linguistic support. This included a document where I showed him different transition words and common words to increase credibility such as, “I believe”, “According to” and so forth. The feedback I provided was only when it would improve the clarity of his argument, less grammar and more the structure of his arguments. We debated over politics as well as our different cultures. And I also gave him model sentences he and a structure he should follow when producing responses which is how I was able to correct him.  Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: Lessons about tutoring that I learned was trying to find when was the right time to have a teaching moment and point out any errors especially when the conversation really got going. I f...
