For my second tutoring session with Brenda I wanted to get a writing sample from her to evaluate her grammar. I gave her a silly picture of a cat with a pizza stuck to his head and had her write me a few sentences based on that picture. From the writing I could see that she has some problems with punctuation, as well as some spelling errors. It is giving me some ideas of what to teach in future classes.
After that, I wanted to test her listening and comprehension skills so I had her listen as I read an article about toilet paper thieves in China. The article was from Breaking News English. I read the article out loud again as she filled in more details. Afterwards, I asked her some multiple choice questions about the article. I believe she understood most of the article because she got most of the answers correct.
