Date/Time: 6/24/18 2:00 pm

Location: Starbucks on Thomasville Rd

Topic/Skill: Phrasal verbs, speech practice, articles & prepositions

Session: 14

Tutee: Sanghun Lee

Sanghun is still focused on phrasal verbs so we reviewed some from our previous session and covered some new ones. We also worked on speech practice in the form of short debates. I gave Sanghun some article and preposition worksheets in the last session to work on at home so we also covered corrections during this session.

Michelle TS #7 Mohammad

Mohammad received his essay back from the instructor about the different modes of transportation he had worked on previously. Although he did not get the highest score possible, he still did well. However, the instructor made a few of the same comments throughout his paper - basically that he was not fully supporting his statements with appropriate background information. We discussed the importance of creating an outline so that it’s easier to organize ideas and then easier to write the assignment. I’m not sure that he will employ the use of outlines every time, but we did discuss the different types of outlines he can use, and then created one for the paper he had worked on. It seems his instructors also incorporate outlines for writing assignments, but he is not doing this for himself when working on homework.

Dojun and I had been using news articles for  many of our sessions, so I decided to change it up a bit and show a 5 minute clip of the show Friends. The clip is about a discussion between Phoebe, Joey and Rachel (titled “Joey doesn’t share food”). The speech was a bit fast, but Dojun mentioned that the subtitles helped, although we did have to pause the video often to ensure he was understanding the video. Each time I paused, I asked him to summarize what the scene showed and then asked if he had questions about vocabulary used. It was difficult to explain what clams are until I realized I could google a picture and send it to him.
