Jennifer- TP03- 9/6/10

For the second review of Woon Jee’s paper, we decided to meet at my office so that we wouldn’t have any of the distractions that we had at Panera (she mentioned that it was a little too loud for her to completely concentrate all the time). I had assumed that we were going to be going over the newly edited version of her paper, however, Woon Jee was quick to tell me that she wasn’t able to finish after we stopped yesterday. She said that once I left, she didn’t have anyone to confirm her edits and she felt unsure of herself. I told her that this was perfectly fine, and that hopefully we will eventually get her to a place where she feels comfortable correcting her own work.

This meeting was very similar to our last meeting. Woon Jee was a little unsure of her edits at first, but as we went on she became more and more confident of herself. Once we were finished we decided what we would do for the remainder of our meetings. I suggested to her that we would focus on editing her work every other meeting and that we would explore other topics that interest her (understanding stories on NPR and other talk radio stations, phone conversations, etc) during the alternating times. During the next editing meeting, I plan to introduce her to editing short-hand as well as various other editing techniques (focusing on composition and grammar as two separate editing cycles).
