I met with Jin for a tutoring session at Starbucks. We
exchanged greetings, and I told him about my cultural class that I taught. He
seemed really interested in my lesson, and luckily I had another copy of my
lesson plan. I had Jin look at some of the greetings that I had just taught in
my previous culture class. Jin progressed through the greetings very easily,
and told me that he has heard a lot of the informal greetings before. I role played with Jin as he practiced the
greetings and responses. After practicing for a little, I quizzed Jin by saying
certain greetings to him, in which he had to respond with the appropriate response. Unfortunately, we could not do the movie
portion of my culture lesson, but I explained that sometimes famous movie lines
are adopted in everyday conversation.
Next we moved on to
another portion of our tutoring session. I noticed that sometimes Jin would use
he’s instead of his, or she’s instead of hers. We did a lesson about possessive
pronouns. First, I reviewed the possessive pronouns: mine, yours, his her,
ours, yours, and theirs. I reviewed when they are used, and how they differ
from the contraction forms of he’s, and she’s. Jin understood, and together we
completed a quiz online, Jin only got one wrong. After our lesson we talked
about our plans for the night. I told Jin that I would be going out with some
friends, and that he should come out with us. Hopefully I can show him a bit of
Tallahassee’s night life before I leave.
