My Second Time Tutoring

This is my second time being a tutor and the topic was they had to write a 1200-1500 word research paper that argues that a work of popular culture such as short story, novel, comic book, advertisement, T.V. show, movie, or song discriminates against a particular group of people. One again I was tutoring 2 students at the time. One student chose the topic of discrimination against sexual orientation and the other student decided to write about weight discrimination. Both of the students had just a page for me to work with but they both had strong thesis. Another thing they both had was a least one source to back up their thesis. The student whose paper is on sexual orientation she used the song "Same Love" by Macklemore and the student whose paper is on weight used the movie "Phat Girlz". I started the session out my introducing myself as well as them introducing themselves to me. The student whose topic was on sexual orientation didn't know any other source to look at so I suggested she use this show called South of Nowhere. The reason I suggested this particular show because it shows just how much people are discriminated against due to their sexuality. She said she has never heard of that show and she is going to take it into consideration. After I told her about another possible source, I switched over to the other student. She told me why she chose the movie "Phat Girlz". After that explanation I asked her where exactly does she want her paper to go. So I switched back over to the other student and asked her the same exact question; what is the route you want your paper to go. After that we all talked about each other's topic and then it was time to leave. Hopefully I was of help to them because they didn't know of any other sources to use for their paper and I was able to give them a suggestion.
