Nicole Tutoring 11

Today Veronika and I worked on writing.  She has a paper she must write for her Families course.  One of the key struggles in this assignment is that the paper needs to be based on American families and about three different American sitcoms featuring families.  Veronika has lived in America for a year so she is still learning many things about American culture.  She doesn't even watch tv!  The first thing she has to do is determine which television shows she will base her paper on.  We talked about her interests an were able to find three different shows that were on Netflix.  Watching the show on Netflix will be good because she is able to pause and rewind the video and she can utilize closed captioning.  The shows she chose are all geared towards middle school and high school aged kids.  I'm hoping these shows will be a little more basic and not carry a complicated story line.  Over the next week Veronika is going to watch each show and take notes.  We will then review the notes and look for consistent themes in the shows.
