tutor 7

On Friday May 27^th 2016, I met my tutee Matthew at LeRoy Collins library in Tallahassee FL to go over writing and comprehension. After last session when Matthew incorrectly stated that the southern confederate states beat the northern union in the civil war, I knew that I had to find different material to keep Matthew interested enough to write sentences that we could go over for grammar, vocabulary, and sentence errors. I then recalled that I had the 2009 film Star Trek on my phone so I pulled out the iPhone 6 plus and told Matthew to watch 5 minutes and then write about what he saw. I told him he could talk about the action, the characters, the dialogue, or the narrative as long as he at least wrote 10 lines worth of analysis. Matthew’s observations of the movie only contained one punctuation error (a period in place of a coma) and wrote a side and a half worth of film analysis that we could go over.
