Rosalie Peyton TS#4 Tania
I met with Tania at Panera. I introduced the concept of independent and dependent clauses. She was unfamiliar with some of the conjunctions, so we went over those words. We also went over the auxiliary verbs be and have. She had some confusion with them, so I explained them and we did practice exercises. Tania is interested in writing, so I gave her a paper outline template. She will write a paper using the outline and will send it to me before our next session. I will look it over and we will discuss it during the next session. After the tutoring session, I took Tania to Publix so that she could get some things that she needed. It is difficult for her to get around using the bus system. While at Publix, we discussed some common phrases and things that may be encountered at stores. For example, the phrase, "Did you find everything you were looking for?"

I have run into the same problem you had, that is, not knowing what the students already know. It is hard to plan an activity and then find out they do not have the backgound knowledge to complete the exercise. I have tried to address this by taking back up information that maybe necessary, such as the 'be' and 'have' issue you had.
