Ali-TP #4

During our 4^th meeting, Karis and I went over an article that she is currently writing. We were really only able to cover her introduction paragraph. She had minor errors, but they were repetitive and some of the sentence organization took a while to explain because I didn’t want it to get confusing and had to have her explain a lot of what she was trying to say before we reworded or reorganized the sentences. The continued issue of articles is something that we worked on, and I had brought her a paper with rules, uses, and reasons for article use in sentences. I thought that she may be able to use it to know when to use a, an, or the. Another issue that was repetitive was plurals, but once I pointed out the first few plural mistakes and explained why they were wrong, she was able to point out most of the rest herself. It was productive session and I asked her to send me a digital copy of the article so I could look over the next few pages before we met again so I could be prepared with examples and better reasons and advice for her.
