AnsleyTS #2

I met with my tutee today for two hours.  I am writing this post about the first hour.  My "TS #3" will detail the second hour.  In the first hour I decided to work on definite and indefinite articles.  I noticed during our first meeting he struggled with 'a' vs. 'the' vs. 'one'.  I printed out a worksheet with fill-in-the-blank sentences for: an, a, and the.  After he completed the worksheet we reviewed his answers together.  He read the sentence aloud, if it was correct I would ask him to tell me why he chose that word.  If it was incorrect I would say it was incorrect, see if he could identify the error, if not I explained the correct answer.  Throughout the discussion I tried to provide examples.  On the back of the worksheet I wrote the rules for each word and the correct answers for each question.  I wanted the worksheet to be something he can reference back to when needed.  Overall, I felt the meeting was a nice blend of conversation and structured tutoring.
