Carelyn Tiburcio TS #9

For this tutoring session, I wanted to try to incorporate a lesson from one of my previous classes. In the past, I had to create a podcast based off of a cooking recipe. We spent a couple of days going over how to do this because describing food is not easy. It requires using adjectives and adverbs outside of my own expertise. I showed Jung a cooking video from the Food Network and told her to keep note of the adjectives used. Afterward, we created a small list of these words and phrases, and then I asked her, "What happens if we don't have visuals?" This is when I began to show her different food blog posts, Yes, they had visuals, but they were not as prominent and detailed as the ones on the Food Network's video. I read some passages out loud, and so did she. I noticed that I continuously kept note of how she pronounced certain words and went over them with her toward the end of the lesson.

Date/Time: 12/11,   Halimah Alnakhli Location: Zoom Meeting Topic Discussed:   Present Simple & Present Continuous For this lesson, we covered the present verb tenses. (Present simple & Present Continuous)  Of course, the lessons always begin with an agenda. I began first with the present simple. Sometimes videos do a really good job explaining so I played a seven-minute video first. We covered affirmative, negative, and interrogative. I have never taught or coordinated a lesson on grammar before so I didn’t know how challenging it could be when the student asks certain questions. My examples for the present simple –   Affirmative – They have a car. Negative – They don’t have a car.  Interrogative – Do you have a car?   We went back and forth taking turns on examples, so she got the hang of it. After she began understanding, the main activity was presented. During one of our last sessions learning cover letters/ purpose statements we had learned how...

Date/Time: 12/14,  3:00 - 4:00  Halimah Alnakhli Location: Zoom Meeting Topic Discussed:  Future simple, Future continuous, Future perfect, and Future perfect continuous.   In continuation of lessons on verb tenses, I created a lesson plan on Future simple, Future continuous, Future perfect, and Future perfect continuous. I found a video that covered all four future tenses, even though it was a bit longer than I usually like to put in the lesson. I started out by asking her simple questions such as, “What will you eat for dinner?” and “Where will you go for your next vacation?” After this lesson, she will be able to:  1. Use 'will' to describe the future. 2. Use 'be going to' to describe the future. 3. Use 'be' + a verb + ing to describe the future. I made slides that had examples. Some of my examples were –    Future Simple Affirmative – It will snow this winter. Future Simple Negative –  It won’t snow this winter. Future Simple Interrogativ...

Date/Time: 12/14,  1:00 - 2:00  Halimah Alnakhli Location: Zoom Meeting Topic Discussed:  Present Perfect recap and worksheet. Other words such as already, just, yet. In this lesson, I wanted to continue lessons on verb tenses. I have a standalone worksheet that deals with Present Perfect and other words such as already, just, yet. I took notes on the last sessions we had and Present Perfect was one of the verb tenses that she was not able to fill in the blanks or get right on the multiple-choice. I wanted to do a standalone lesson on this verb tenses specifically. I want to show Halimah how to use these words in specific situations. Apart from practical tasks, I will also role-play two scenarios. The worksheet starts with a short discussion about throwing a party and things that might go wrong while doing it. Then since I am working with her and she is the only student it moves to a short dialogue that checks her ideas mentioned in the discussion. The dialogue ...
