Second Writing Center Observation

My second observation wasn't focused on the low order concerns. This student had a paper that was due that day in less then 2 hours. She had most of the paper done but she had writers block when it came to the third paragraph and the conclusion. The student said she had came to a tutor before and when she was sitting down with this one, she metioned something different then what the tutor before had said. With this student, the student focused on the high order concerns more than the low order concerns. She praised the student for a point she made and then asked her which side was she taking, for or aganist. With this student, there are a lot of high order concerns being focused on and taled about. The tutor is also throwing ideas out on what else she can possible put in the paper. She asked the student how she felt about the subject and then suggested that she can put that in her paper as well. The tutor pointed of the thesis of the paper with ease and gave her ideas on how she can draw up the conclusion. What I felt like that was important was that the tutor didn't tell the student exactly what to write but she her ideas on what to possibly include in the paper

  1. Can you give some specific examples from the session here? For instance, what were some of the ideas 'thrown out' there? More details and examples please!
