Today I partnered up with Camille. Since she was pretty set on her focus we went through a quick talk a loud to see what it was and were she was going. She said she had problems with the organization so we decided to do matrices and color coding ... We put purple matrices around things we could lose or not need and pink around thte strong points that would help make her point for the paper.. Then when the roles flip flopped we read my paper and she helped me to limit my focus to make my paper stronger. We made a bumper sticker title which believe it or not i found very helpful to get my point across to start revising my paper. Then she had me highlight things that would be helpful to my new found topic... I would definatly use these statigies in a tutoring session becuase if it could help me, it could help someone else. These past two tutoring sessions really helped me to open my eyes to new stratiges to get a student interested and to understand how to go somewhere with their assignments and papers. :)
