Observation Two Assingment

After observing my second tutoring session, I first noticed that the tutor used the 'Read Aloud' strategy. He had two students to tutor within that one-hour time. One of the students he had was a student he tutored several times within that week. The student had to revise an ENG 101 paper in which he did not know what to write after his thesis and one thesis statement. The tutor asked him questions that I read in the book like, "What have you learned about this book and what more do you want to know"? He asked the student to write those ideas down and he will get back to him. The tutor then advised an ENG 102 student who had difficulties linking her thesis statement to her body paragraph. The tutor then asked her what the poem was about and reviewed the lengthy poem and concluded that her opinion about the 'tone' of the poem did not correspond to what was written in the poetry. He explained to her the difference between a summary and an analysis.He also made a list of all her mistakes and then asses them by explaining the steps she needed to take to improve her paper such as "Write as if the reader knows nothing about the poem". He ended the session with a compliment on the ideas that she already had despite the fact that  she wrote a summary rather than an analysis.The tutor goes back to his original student and review what was wrote. He advises the student to put each idea into a few sentences and that will be the details needed to complete his thoughts.
