Third case study

For my third session i had one student this time and was very concerned because during my last two sessions i got use to handling two students at a time.  However it went pretty smoothly so i was worried over nothing. This students topic was about weight discrimination and how over weight people are not treated the same as "skinny types". Her topic was very interested and asked her if this is something she is comfortable writing about, her reply was that she wanted to work with something she has no knowledge about and i was bit concerned because she did not have a lot of information down on this topic. So for this session i started by asking questions on the topic, how are over weight people treated in this country, why is it okay for 100 lb models to wear very little to no clothing and not okay for people who are a few pounds heavier? I asked this questions to get her motor starting and to see if she understood the assignment. She gave a few great ideas and basically went back and forth talking about that conversation. After discussing the topic i asked her to write down her thoughts and ideas for a few minutes so she wont forget what we talked about. After her free write, i gave a few ideas on advertising companies and how they use women and their bodies to get profit. Towards the end of the session she had her ideas, her thesis statement and advised her to do more research on her topic and to focus on body paragraphs as well.
