I met with Mohammad once again to review a paper that had recently been graded by his teacher. It was the same paper he had showed me about diseases, but he had edited it on his own without my advice since we did not meet before he turned his second draft in. He had made some grammatical corrections, as well as added more information and specifics to the essay. I helped him edit it, and gave him advice on where to add more information given the feedback his teacher provided. This exercise was also beneficial to me as it made me use the teacher grading rubric and become familiar with the writing correction symbols. He asked me to go through the grammar, correct it, and tell him why it was correct.
After we finished reviewing his second draft, we spent some of the time looking at the surroundings and picking words to learn. For example, I taught him what the word 'legacy' meant, as we were sitting at the tables in front of Strozier on Landis and the word 'legacy' was written across a piece of paper tacked to the school's bulletin board. I taught him a few other words, and used them in sentences that also related to American culture.
