Today you conducted tutoring sessions for students who did not have drafts - and you did a great job! As we summed up how the sessions went I noticed in our notes on the board that each session was quite different - and that the directions the sessions took reflected the needs of the students in the session. This is exactly the way it is supposed to go. I strongly suggest that you read through the strategies in McAndrew and Reigstad a few more times - so that they are there in your head as resources. Remember that the idea is to get the student to do the work, and that the work is WRITING. Some of the exercises are better for generating material - some of the exercises work better for organization - read through the list so that you have several options in your mind when you need them.
For class Wednesday, write a draft for the response assignment you worked on in your tutoring session. Read McAndrew and Reigstad, 42-69 => strategies for responding to writers' work. In class you will switch roles - and conduct writing sessions to revise and complete the response to Lunsford. Also - write up your experience of the tutoring session. Respond to the prompts as posted on the calendar. Good work today and I will see you on Wednesday.
