Recent Manhattan Tutoring Session Notes
The student and I spent the majority of the time working through the homework packet, but we did the chance to play a short game to review her spelling list. I asked her to find words on the list ending in certain letters, and she had to spell them out in crayon without looking after she read them aloud to me. She was very energetic.

Continued with a discussion of SAT-specific grammar issues: misplaces modifiers, parallel structure, faulty comparisons. This class, he really seemed to grasp parallel structure for the first time, but will need more work on the other two.

We also drafted a conclusion together. By the end of the session, we had a substantial portion of the paper discussed and completed. The student will need to finish adding footnotes and make his works cited page. He will also need to add more information in his third body paragraph so that it has three supporting points.
