How one of our tutors is using essays in class
When you submit your hours to us each month, there is a box at the bottom of the page that you can use to tell us about how / what you’re doing in your clasees. One of our tutors shared how he is using brief essays in his.
I have been reading brief essays drawn from books, magazines and newspapers. then, they write answers to 4 or 5 questions about information they received. We review their answers for accuracy, spelling and grammar. Usually, we discuss the article, as well. So, students get listening, writing and conversation skills in one exercise. Recent topics: ethnic food, the way different cultures enhance their bodies (piercing, lip expansion, foot binding,etc.) and polar bears.
