Tyler-TP10/11

This was my fourth tutoring meeting with Tugba in one week, and I believe she was a bit burnt out from studying, but we persisted on. I attempted to make this lesson more fun than some of the previous lessons. I found a few youtube videos that were funny and appropriate, and I asked the general who, what, why, etc. I figured that this would be a nice break after several days of studying more intense Toefl exercises. Some of the video's I picked were humorous, and it seemed Tugba thought so as well. She did very well, and got the majority of the questions right. The ones that she got incorrect I explained and we went over in more detail.
After we were done with those videos, I showed her what I had hoped to be my final lesson plan. It was (at the time anyways) an Edgar Allan Poe story, which proved to be to advanced for the level I sought to teach it in. She did understand the majority of it though, with some help via vocabulary explanations. After our lessons were done we had the chance to converse for awhile.
