Third session...

I've enjoyed this tutoring session the most because of the similarities the student I tutored shared. The student was very excited to have me to critique his work and was very open to my opinions. The class (ENG 101) was assigned to write an essay that argues a work of popular culture (short story, novel, comic book, advertisement, T.V. show, movie, or song) either discriminates against a particular group of people, or that it works to raise awareness about a specific type of discrimination. The student I tutored was very prepared and showed me his 2nd draft of his paper on discrimination towards African Americans. After reading his draft aloud I was very pleased with his work, it was well written. The few issues that came to me was the in-text MLA formatting and the organization of his paper. We begin to work on the MLA formatting, I begin to scan through for the errors and showed the student the correct way to cite in a MLA format. Ive also recommended a few websites for a further reference. After working with that we begin to organize his ideas and arguments. When the time was closer for us to leave I have set a goal for him that should be done before we meet again the following week.
