This past Wednesday, Abbas and I met again for the second meeting of our weekly tutoring sessions. We first began the lesson by working on reading comprehension, focusing on a passage about a young girl named Gabriella who worked to combat violence in her school district. Most of the questions were multiple choice, with a few short response answers thrown in. One of them involved thinking of a word describing the young activist and since Abbas couldn't think of any, I suggested the words motivated and stubborn. We briefly discussed the meaning and use of both words and I provided some example sentences. We then moved on to a brief grammar lesson, in which I assisted Abbas in better understanding the difference between a gerund and an infinitive and how to utilize both in his compositions. Abbas also expressed an interest in improving his essay writing skills, so I briefly highlighted the correct outline for an effective essay and what should be included within each paragraph. We both agreed that for our next session we will focus on the essay he is working on in his composition class and best strategies to improve it.
