Now that I am teaching myself, I can imagine how tense teaching can become when you get to the end of your time with your students. Now that I know I will not be seeing Ms. Annie every week I find myself double checking and triple checking her preparedness on everything. I had to take two steps back when I realized that I was re-explaining things that we've gone over many times simple because she made a minor mistake. During these last few sessions with her, my focus has shifted to encouraging her independent skills with the Internet. All of Annie's practice materials are online. I chose to use this form because the Internet programs offer audio and visual interaction with the user. I found a great multiple choice Naturalization test online that generates different questions with answers that you can review. A site that has audio clips that instruct the user to write out the sentences they are hearing. And a three part YouTube video that ask questions from the 100 question civics test. By emailing her the links, she can access them easy by the titles of the emails. During our sessions I encourage her to navigate these pages by herself to allow me to see what I need to go over with her. This method seems to be working very well with someone who is a visual learner.
