Date/Time: September 28,
7:30-8:30pm
Location: PJ’s desk
Topic/Skill: science
& idioms/ listening, reading & speaking
Feedback provided to
tutee: After we went over each idiom I would ask PJ an example of how he would use
the same idiom in the context of his life. I would affirm him positively when
he used the idiom correctly, or I would provide extra examples if his example
was inaccurate.
Lesson(s) about tutoring
and/or the tutee you learned: When I first sat down with PJ, I could tell
that he was not excited about having to do work. In response to his lack of
enthusiasm, I focused on making the lesson as fun as possible. Prior to the
session I had prepared a PowerPoint slideshow to help illustrate the meanings
for a dozen different idioms. On each slide there was the meaning, a funny
picture, and sample sentences using the idioms. From this session I
learned how important it is to constantly create new games and interactive lessons
to keep kids on their toes in order to maintain interest. Especially since PJ
is a kid, he gets bored easily, so the more engaging and the greater the
variety, the more he is open to learning.
