2nd tutoring session
So I had one tutee this time and I can say it didn't go as planned. The tutee didn't have a draft at all, all she had was articles from the internet on a topic she no longer wanted to talk about and the articles she had wasn't even good enough if she would've kept the topic she first wanted to talk about. The tutoring session was about 45 minutes long and in those 45 minutes, the tutee went out the classroom to go to the library to print out articles on her new topic, this tutoring session didn't go well, when she came back I had about 5 to 10 minutes left with her so I helped her outline her paper real quick by telling her what to write, she kept asking me could I repeat myself so I took her paper and pen and just wrote out what I was telling her on her paper, just so she could know where to start, I told her don't forget to add details on why you feel this or that way. she thanked me and that was it.
3rd tutoring session
I had two tutees and even though I didn't want two, this time around it wasn't bad, the two tutees I had were cool, their assignment were to Write a 1200-1500 word research essay arguing that a work of popular culture (short story, novel, comic book, advertisement, T.V. show, movie, or song) either discriminates against a particular group of people, or that it works to raise awareness about a specific type of discrimination. Both tutees told me they had already did a paper earlier in class and for this paper they could go back and take information from it. Both tutees had their paper, I read the first tutee paper and his paper was great, every time he brought up a main idea, he had information to back it up, he had just enough details, the only thing for his paper I had to correct was the way he wrote his sentences. The second tutee paper was ok, as I read her paper, I see she kept writing the same thing over and over. every paragraph had the same information, all she did was change words and she had a lot of mistakes. I told her to stick with one main idea and talk about it. she wrote everything down that I told her to change. Both tutees told me that I helped them and they would make the corrections on heir papers.
