Indira and I met for our 3rd session on January 21st, 2020 from 12-1pm. Today Indira came to our tutoring session with some classwork that she felt she needed help on. In Indira's speaking class she is working on a presentation of a topic she is interested in, which she chose "Women's Rights" and why they are important to her. For the presentation she had to begin by brainstorming and planning her speaking points, similar to how she would for writing an essay. I pulled up a word document and told Indira to speak about all the points she could think of when she thought of the topic "Women's Rights". As Indira was talking I was typing out everything she said word for word so that we could look it over and begin organizing similar thoughts into groups. I explained to her that brainstorming can look messy and unorganized but with work it can be refined into a very well thought out essay or presentation. With the rest of our session we began making up the key concepts she wanted to focus on for the main points of the presentation and used some of the brainstorming points as supporting details. We finished up the session with a rough plan for the direction Indira would be taking in her presentation and set up our next session for January 23rd, 2020.
