tutor 9

On June 7^th I met my tutee Matthew at Leroy Collins public library to go over his writing and grammar. Just like the two previous sessions, I had Matthew watch the 2009 film Star Trek in five minute portions and then write about the scene after. Also, just like last session June 3^rd, Matthew used a fragment sentence in his first scene analysis. I pointed this out to Matthew and mentioned that we went over this in our last session; Matthew recalled talking about it and did not write another fragment sentence for the rest of the day. This exchange made me realize that as an instructor, I am responsible to go over what was discussed or learned in the previous session and that Matthew’s error about the fragment sentence is just as much mine as it is his. Besides this fragment sentence and one verb tense error (“kill him” instead of the past “killed him”), Matthew’s writing and grammar were spot on.
