Fifth Shadowing

Shadowing with Anna on November 19^th at 7 pm

Tonight I shadowed Anna, her tutee came in with his second revision of his history paper (he sent her an outline before hand). His main concerns were organization of his thoughts and clarifying his thesis. We went over his paper with him and he asked us if it made sense then we where his evidence should go with each argument and actually helped him out of some of arguments because it was too much for a 12 page paper. And at the end of his session where he had his thesis a little more clarified he felt more confident in what he had to say and less frustrated. I noticed with this student it helped him a lot when we asked him questions about his work and what he was trying to argue with each paragraph and he was able to put his evidence and thoughts together better by himself. It also helped him when he asked us what he thought he was arguing that way he was able to see if he was making sense in his paper.
