Today, I met with Mardioli for the second time (7/19/17). Her presentation from last week went well! In addition to the presentation, she had to host a discussion. It was about charging minors as adults in a courtroom and if it is ethical to do so. Apparently it lead to a heated discussion, but I was not there to hear it.
Mardioli had an essay due tomorrow that I helped her with during this tutoring session. The handout given in class explaining the markings was very helpful! I like her writing style, she likes to use metaphors. One that stuck out to me was how the library was the the heart of the school, its pulse is the knowledge that it contains within its walls. She said that the library breathes opportunities. etc.
Tonight she is sending me the final draft via email for some last minute corrections.
We also went through a book that she had for reading class, and man, it was a pretty poor choice for reading material. It had a lot of rarely used words and some that were made up entirely. She said she is allowed to switch it out for another book and I told her to do exactly that.
Like last time, it was a pleasure and I felt very helpful. The more I tutor, the more confidence I have in myself so these sessions are a win-win.
