Date/Time: 12/5/15 1:00-2:30 pm
Location: Starbucks near CIES
Topic/Skill: Reading, Vocabulary, and Culture
Feedback provided to tutee: Since the session is over and Abdullatif no longer has homework, I created our own agenda for today. I brought an FSU newspaper and asked Abdullatif to choose two articles that we could read together. We read one article about the FSU girls soccer team and one about the Arabic Outreach Program at FSU. We actually both learned a lot while reading the paper. I think this was a great culture lesson. We also underlined new vocabulary and I described them through context and then by providing definitions. Overall, I want to encouraged Abdullatif to practice reading English on his own.
Lessons about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I learned that lessons are far more fun when you include culture and the tuttee's interests. We talked about Arabic culture, politics, and sports. I also learned about Abdullatif's perspective, which was interesting!
