Today Kailin and I worked on specifying what she really means to say in her essay. Oftentimes her descriptions are abstract and general, so I worked with her on using particular examples from the text to support what she’s saying.
We also worked on polishing the mechanics of her essay: using the proper verb tense, pronouns, prepositions, avoiding colloquial language, smoothing out sentence structure, etc. The essay is coming along nicely. Kailin will submit her final draft to me next week.
