Indira and I met on March 3rd from 5-7pm at Starbucks Coffee. For the first hour of our tutoring I focused on multitasking between allowing Indira to get some practice reading aloud and having Indira read some example argumentative essays so that she could get more comfortable with the essay "flow". I had several essays picked out from ESL sites that increased in their complexity/ difficulty of comprehension and vocabulary so when I noticed Indira struggling I stepped in to assist her in words she had difficulty with. Indira has been reviewing argumentative essays in class so after reading the essay I asked her to take the information from the essay and plug it into the outline to see if she was able to recognize what parts she was reading would be the main ideas of the paragraphs. Indira caught on really fast to this exercise and she said it was helpful to her to work backwards.
