This tutoring session would be my
first with a boy named Federico, who was born in Columbia and moved to the
United States around the age of three. His pronunciation was very good, the one
aspect his mother Carolina asked me to focus on was writing as this was an area
he particularly struggled in. For the first lesson, I figured it would be best
to go over with him ways to plan for an essay, and some strategies for writing
an intro as well. We started out with planning an essay, I showed him some
graphic organizers he could model his own strategy after. After that we began discussing introductions
and some parts that could help in his writing such as: a hook, issue statement,
personal position, thesis, and supporting reasons. After going over the basic
parts, we then examined some model introductions and looked at whether or not
they had all the parts we discussed. If they were missing parts, I had him
write in what he would have done differently.
