On March 27, three of our writing tutors (Ellen Beach, Kasi Gedris, and Amanda Naron), visited a twelfth grade English class at Mayo High School, as part of the QEP high school partnership initiative. The writing tutors talked about college writing and common student errors, they conducted a mock-tutoring session for the students, and then led a tutoring session with a high school student volunteer. Finally, they facilitated small group tutoring sessions. The students were excited to receive tutor comments about their papers.
The visit was productive for both high school students and tutors. The tutors did a wonderful job interacting with high school students and engaging them in a discussion about writing.
