TP 5
My second tutoring session with Mii. This time we met a coffee shop again but we
made sure to sit outside. It was much
better. Since our listening session didn't work out too well I decided to give
it another shot. This time I decided to use a TED talk called Five Dangerous
things that we should let our children do. This was actually a great choice.
Mii has a son so I think the children angle hooked her a bit more, and we also
had a chance to discuss many cultural differences. In particular the practice
of giving children pocket knives was new to her. In South Korea, it seems that
no such tradition exists. This session I focused on listening for overall
understanding. The questions and exercises we all geared towards understanding
the motivation/meaning of each of the 6 segments. I think my questions were a
bit lacking in specificity, as I had to reword or restate some them a few
times. None the less I thought the basic
set up of the lesson was successful and I may refine it and try it with another
person later on.
