Julia TS #4 Sofia Session 3

 For our third tutoring session, we first reviewed what we had done the previous week. We then began my plan for this session with TOEFL reading practice. Before she began reading, I had her first scan the reading, looking for details and using context clues to understand the meaning of unknown vocabulary. I had Sofia read through a sample passage titled "The Rise of Teotihucán", which was 6 paragraphs long. After each paragraph, I checked to make sure she understood its main premise and whether there were any words she didn't understand. I would correct her pronunciation if she had issues, noting which words have consistently been difficult for her to pronounce. After each paragraph, we would connect it to the last to make sure she understood the message so far. At the end of the paragraphs, we moved on to some multiple-choice comprehension questions. Regardless of whether she got the question right or wrong, we would go back into the passage and find the part in the passage where the question was answered. After she had finished answering all the questions and we had reviewed the correct answers, we reviewed the types of questions asked and how to find the answers in the passage.
