Recent Cleveland AP English Literature and Composition Tutoring Session Notes
Today we worked on responses to Freakonomics. We finished the first two chapters and she is going to work on the next four over the weekend. These will be done by Tuesday so next week we can start on a new book and a new set of assignments.
The student and I reviewed one of his essays for English. He is an extremely bright student, very impressive but wants to improve his grades his is earning on his timed essays. We thoroughly examined and dissected what he wrote and the areas he needs to focus on to earn a higher grade. He has some slight trouble with proper word choice and being able to identify an author's tone and how to write and analyze that. I went over that with him and told him he needs to keep in mind the global idea and vision of what the author is trying to accomplish, keeping in mind the genre and rhetorical strategies the author is employing.
We went over the student's government, English, and chemistry material. Much of the session was spent reviewing what is currently being covered in his classes. We reviewed organization and study skills.
I helped get the student started on a research paper. She selected a prompt, brainstormed topic ideas, took extensive notes, developed a tentative thesis statement, and devised a plan for getting started on research.
The student and I worked through her annotated bibliography assignment, editing her existing sources and annotations as well as developing a number of additional possible sources. We discussed how the creation of the outline for her research paper influences the selection of her sources, and vice versa, and came up with a rough outline to guide her through the creation of the rest of her bibliography. We made plans to meet again on Thursday in order to edit the upcoming additions to her bibliography.
During our session, the student worked on his rough draft for his Personal Statement while I proofread his rough draft for his Frankenstein assignment. Once I was done proofreading and he had written his rough draft, we edited his Frankenstein paper. He is going to print off the paper so I can do a handwritten edit of the rough draft and we can finish the final draft at our next session.
