First case study
For my first tutoring session i had two students with different writing skill levels and structure. Each student also had two different topics, student A was writing about illegal immigrants, and student B was writing about the case against marriages. With student A his essay was almost complete with the exception of the conclusion. Student A had a good main idea about how immigrants are the backbone of today's economy and gave evidence to support the idea. Student A also put a personal experience in the essay as well. what we did in the session is read the paper out loud, found more evidence to support the main idea, worked on the personal experience to give more details, it was a little too vague and one of the teachers comments was too put more detail and finally the conclusion. With student B the essay was only a page and had a main idea but barely evidence to support the idea and had no conclusion as well. Since student B had a different topic we reread the article about marriage and then found evidence to support his idea. I let student b work on that while i worked with student a. After student b found evidence we started to put the paragraphs together by letting him free write about the topic. Towards the end of the session we worked on the conclusion. It was pretty tough working with both students are the same time and going back and forth with the students as well. I'm mostly concerned if i actually helped them out and if i gave good advice. However i just have to keep practicing and learning and eventually gain more confidence.
