tutor 8

On June 3^rd, I met my tutee Matthew to go over his writing and grammar. This lesson started were the previous lesson ended, twenty nine minutes and thirty seconds into Star Trek (2009). After watching the movie for a small portion of time, Matthew would then write about what he saw in the film. This week I learned from Matthew’s writing that he has an understanding for grammar rules that I myself did not know till later in school. For instance, Matthew already knows the difference between “too” and “to” and “an” and “a”. Although Matthew excels in this area, Matthew still has his fair share of faults. One thing Matthew could work on is fragment sentences. Often in Matthew’s writing I will read a sentence that is only five or six words in length. One such sentence goes “His father died too.” I pointed this problem out to Matthew and told him we would work on it for next session.
