Blog #5 How my tutoring session went

Erin tutored me. She saw that I had problems with Thesis/Focus. She asked me what my piece was really about and gave me a chance to sort out what it was about. I told her that I really did not like the essay that Lunsford wrote. She said that that was "okay' that I didn't have to like it. She suggested that I might list the things that I disliked about it and write from that angle. It was a good session. I watched Erin as she was tutored by Ryan because the class sessions were just starting when I arrived for class.

Looking at my essay, Erin could see that I had some confusion in my focus. The technique that she used worked for me. Erin asked a question, let me think about it, then told me to write what I had said. I had originally written an essay that I was comfortable with before I wrote this one that I thought would be more acceptable.
