Austin arrived a few minutes early and changed into his hockey outfit which he wore during our session. He was very happy to see that his poster of Frank Lampard had arrived and asked if he could take it home at the end of our session. We then got to work and discussed an assignment on which he needs to work for school. The topic he chose, Cristiano Ronaldo, did not surprise me as it is another one of his favorite socceer players. He explained that it is an expository writing assignment, so we reviewed the main precepts of expository writing. We discussed purpose, focus, and organization; providing evidence and elaboration; and the importance of maintaining the integrity of the conventions of English grammar. We then began by researching the player. Austin formatted his composition cleverly, by dividing it into Cristiano Ronaldo's early years, which he categorized as from birth to 10 years of age, his middle years - from 10 to 18, and adulthood, from 18 on. We then began researching the defining factors in Ronaldo's early childhood, noting the most significant achievements and experiences that Austin felt factored into making him the athlete he ultimately became. We prioritized the events in his life and the major accomplishments of each stage. I afforded Austin help writing his words on paper and he agreed to type it for his report. Austin read the report and made minor changes to more clearly express the main points he wished to convey and emphasize in the composition. He was pleased with the outcome of his efforts and we completed the first three main parts of his report. When it was time for him to leave and go to hockey with Kim, Austin took home the picture of the soccer player, and commented that he was looking forward to continuing to come to tutoring later this week. Austin said he felt he had accomplished a lot and I agreed that we enjoyed a productive session.
