TP 3
It was my 3rd tutoring session Li Su. I had
noticed that interest was lagging in the last lesson so I decided to use
something for the lesson that would be a bit more compelling. Instead of a dry
listening, reading, or grammar exercise. I used the story Rappacini’s Daughter by
Nathaniel Hawthorne. I went over most of the unfamiliar or unusual vocabulary before
we started reading, but I left a few out so we could practice guessing the
meaning of words via context later. I split the story into two parts and saved
the resolution for the next session. I had her read 3 times, the first was for meaning,
and the next two reading were looking for specific information. I prepared 10 comprehension
questions to go along with the reading. After the third read she got 8 of the
10 questions correct. We went back over the sections of the text were she
missed questions together and I showed her how to find the answers to the
questions. I have to say the lesson went well, it was interesting and not too difficult
but not easy either. I’m still working on gauging difficulty.
