Location: Cyberspace: Email exchanges
Topic Discussed:  Writing and Grammar

In our meeting earlier today, my Tutee asked if I would help him with some questions. He wanted me to send him some questions about Lake Ella to which he would respond (practice his writing skills). I agreed gladly. I sent him several questions to answer via email. He responded and then I responded subsequently late in the evening. The morning of the next day I followed up with more questions for him. My questions focused on “beautiful mistakes” to which I hope to draw his attention. He is intrinsically motivated and wants to receive guidance. Specifically, I aimed at facilitating his thinking about grammar and word usage. There were several places where he could improve his writing (capitalization, RO, grammar, and word usage). I am looking forward to his follow-up responses.
