On Thursday 10/22 I met with Yuma. This was our final tutoring session so I planned on doing mostly writing exercises to see how far we have come. I had some questions that could be answered simply with one or two sentences but I also had some essay type questions. Yuma did pretty well at this exercise. He left out some little things but his ideas would come across with each sentence that I read. With the longer responses I spoke to Yuma about incorporating transitions into his work to help him create a better flow. We talked about how the writer can't only think about how they are getting their ideas across but also how the reader will be reacting to what is written. Yuma asked me to give him an example of how I would have answered the same question. I think showing him how I would answer showed him a way that a native would formulate their response. Our lesson mostly focused on this area since I had many questions for Yuma but Yuma also asked additional questions. It felt sad that this was the last session in the books for Yuma. However I will most likely continue to tutor Yuma at least once a week.
