Those of you who were not observing or conducting sessions talked through your reflections on sessions in light of your proposed ideas for your research projects. If you heard one of your classmates reporting on issues relevant to your project - feel free to request access to the notes on the session. You are encouraged to share data with one another(so long as your essay credits your classmate as the source of the observation).
In class on Monday we decided that more readings on coaching ESL students would be useful, so for this coming Monday, read the Judith Powers essay in your text. I have also gathered the following references that may be useful. Read through these (I realize this is a lot of reading - so spend more or less time on them as they relate to your research project and/or tutoring).

Blog 15: Write into the discussion we had tonight about your project, your sessions, your notes on your sessions and your reflections.
I will be reading your blogs over the weekend. Keep thinking about what kind of references you will need to develop your research plan. In class we will spend some time talking over coaching ESL students, and then you will work on your research plans.
Great class tonight!
