Topic/Skill: speaking: speaking+pronunciation+listening skills. Family members practice.

Teacher Presentation: Q & A between student and teacher. Practiced answering questions from the textbook. Teacher would speak slowly and clearly to help students better understand. 

Classroom Management: Lots of interactive, teacher corrected students by having them repeat their sentences. 

Materials: CIES textbook, dictionary.

Student Participation: One by one, students would state their information that was asked from them. One group acticity where students complete sentences from the family members practice. 

Feedback Provided: teacher would repeat sentences to show them the proper pronunciation. The teacher would also use hand gestures to help students visualize what she is saying (helps better understand while teacher wears mask)

  Date/Time: Monday 1/25 Location: Zoom Topic/Skill: Reading & Poetry part II Feedback provided to tutee: Pronunciation corrections, new vocabulary, and explanations for poems when misunderstood Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned:  Some of the poems I picked ended up being inappropriate because they used Old English or were at a lower reading level than my tutee's so I am learning more about finding level-appropriate materials.

She used flashcards and a textbook as material for the students to read. She corrected their pronunciation after their mistakes. Lesson(s) on teaching you learned: I learned that using clear speech and enunciating is important when teaching beginners. Using repetition is really crucial as well so the students practice pronouncing various times.
