Preston TP 4


It was my fourth tutoring session Li Su. I continued with the Rappacini’s Daughter based lesson as well. Today’s lesson was listening lesson. Instead of having her read the final portion of the story, I found a recording of it and played it.  This time since we would not be reading I wrote last lessons words and the new words in this lesson on the dry erase wall, and made sure she understood them all.  As usual we listened several times. After the first the questions were given, this time I added a few more questions that required a bit more analysis, like asking about character motivations etc. Those questions were a bit more difficult and she had a bit of trouble with them. Of the 3 I included only one was answered correctly without any review of the material. The lesson progressed faster than I had expected so I used my back up activity, “Guess the idiomatic phase” it’s a simple matching exercise with 4-6 idioms and their meanings.
