Myrick, J. TP #6

This past Friday, I met Marie at the library for a more in-depth writing session. I asked was there anything that she had questions about issues she's heard about throughout the weekend, and she said nothing. After our short talk, we had to get into the work. As I said, today was our writing session and I had a pretty good exercise for her to do. The assignment was to write about one place in America that she wants to visit, and detail everything that she read, heard, or seen about it. I showed her the grading rubic that I will be using and she seemed hesitant about it. I reassured her that it would be fine and I wouldn't be harsh on her. After about 30 minutes, she finished the paper and I read it. She wrote about NYC and about the landmarks. I noticed that her ideas flowed better than previous writings, and I think she noticed it. It flowed well besides minor grammatical mistakes. Also, she made use of the vocabulary list which made me proud. We both reviewed the paper together and I asked her how did she feel about her writing and she said that it could be better. Had a few grammar mistakes, and spelling as well. I encouraged her to continue using the dictionary and vocabulary lists that I give her.
