Yesterday Maria and I meet at noon in between her other classes. She had produced a piece of writing using the words from her glossary that she had collected over the last few weeks. The assignment was to use these words and write a simple recollection of what we did when we encountered these words. This was a good on-going use of her new vocabulary. In assessing her composition I found that she had organized her thoughts into 3 very clear paragraphs, an introduction, larger body paragraph and a brilliant conclusion. So in regards to content and structure there was very little that I could critique, I would have had to gotten into a detailed analysis of her sentence placement within each paragraph, and this seemed to be too critical. In regards to grammar and sentence structure she did have errors. She had a pattern of misuse of 'of'' and 'to', so I high lighted that issue for her. She is making corrections to this draft and we will reassess it at our next meeting.
