This afternoon, I met up with Michelle in the CIES lounge for our tutoring session. I had brought materials, but Michelle wanted to go over a vocabulary test that she had not done well on. The test featured a list of words the class had discussed and they had to name the part of speech, define it, and use it in a sentence. Michelle said that her professor had emailed a powerpoint to the class featuring study material for this test, but Michelle had not received the powerpoint. She was very upset about her grade, but after we went over and corrected the test together she seemed at ease. It was funny how part of the exam was naming the part of speech because that is what I had brought for Michelle to practice today! I gave her a sheet with a word bank at the top followed by boxes representing verbs, nouns, and adjectives. Michelle did very well and also learned some new vocabulary along the way! To finish up our lesson, I had Michelle read a short story to me so she could practice her speech. She has a difficult time with pronunciation, but after our sessions I feel like she enjoys getting all of this extra practice. Today's session with Michelle went really well.
