Karen Hand TS #15

Karen Hand TS #15 (Adult Tutee)
Date/Time: 12/2/15, 3 – 4 p.m.
Location: CIES
Topic Discussed: Preparing for Final Exam

Feedback provided to tutee: Today I helped Fadia prepare for her Reading final exam.  She showed me examples of reading passages that she had been given in class and the corresponding questions about the main idea, as well as comprehension questions about the passage.  I asked her to give me 5 minutes to compose a reading passage along with questions.  I wrote a brief passage (about 10 sentences) about a visit to the Tallahassee Museum.  I wrote about 6 questions that addressed the main idea of the passage and comprehension of the passage.  First, I asked her to read the passage out loud, and I helped her with any words that she didn’t know.  Then I give her some time to write out her answers to the questions I had given her.  Then I went over her answers and helped her make corrections where necessary.  She also showed me a presentation she had made about her country, Kuwait.  I learned a few things about Kuwait, such as that children dress up in traditional or crazy costumes (kind of like our Halloween) on special nights during Ramadan and they put a bag around their neck and go around collecting candy door-to-door in the bag.  Neat!
