TP Session #3 (1/21/2015)
I met Young-Seo, my five year old
child tutee, for our second meeting on Wednesday. I had put together a plan to
begin teaching her colors, along with other vocabulary. The idea was that I
would add a few more colors to her vocabulary each week in the context of a
story, and perhaps a writing exercise. For example, I knew she liked penguins,
so I planned on covering “Black” and “White,” along with other penguin-related
vocab. However, she tore through my prepared vocab so fast that I abandoned my
original plan and had her try to write out all of the colors, which she did with
very little assistance.
We then had a little quiz where I
wrote “fill in the blank” –style questions in the following style:
“Strawberries are ____.” She devoured the quiz with no help reading or writing,
and promptly asked for a harder one.
We moved on to writing a letter to
her Korean friends. Though she had little trouble writing the sentences, she
found it boring and hard to focus on. I plan next week to read with her, find
vocab words that are difficult for her, and then have her write a story using
the words. Seeing how much she liked drawing, I may let her illustrate the
story as well, just to keep her interested.
