Date & Time: 3/18/24, 4:00-5:00pm

Location: CIES 

Topic/Skill: Speaking, Guess Who game

Is your person facing to the right or to the left?

Has your person ever dyed their hair a different color than they might have been born with? 

Is their hair up or down? Is their hair in a ponytail, bun, or braid?

Feedback provided to the tutee: There were questions I asked Ye-won about her person that she didn't understand what trait I was referring to. I then defined “facial hair” and “bald” for her. She understood all the different hairstyles and the differences between beard, mustache, and goatee when asked individually, but did not know that facial hair is the umbrella term for the latter. 

Lessons learned: I had fun trying to come up with more complicated questions than ‘Is your person a boy or girl?’ I found it interesting to push myself to find synonyms for simpler words to try and stump her, that intersection is where we learned facial hair and bald.

He told me about his visit to the Museum of Natural History, the Empire State Building, and Central Park. His hometown is known for its chaotic traffic, and New York’s heavy traffic also reminded him of home. When he told me he had taken the subway rather than a car to commute during his stay, I mentioned how cool that seems as I have never been on a subway. He was shocked! I explained that there were no subway systems in Florida because of Limestone, aquifers, and high water tables; therefore, Florida basements are rare but Florida natural springs are by the dozen! Lessons Learned: I’ve never experienced a very strong feeling of homesickness while being in a city that looks like where I am from, but I can rat...
