The reading materials I prepared for Ahmed for our second session finally got put to use this time! It’s actually the story I used for my reading lesson plan. Since I had some time from last session to plan it out, I wanted to see if my lesson plans had practical application. I’ve noticed a difference between my tutoring partners. David, with his Spanish background, has a much easier time figuring out the meanings of words. Ahmed however, needs context. Which is a more difficult and frustrating method of figuring out a foreign words meaning. I found a lot of this session was spent encouraging him to allow mistakes, and as a teacher I had to allow some mistakes slide to help encourage him.
