Blog #8

Part 1:
This week, I did not take part in the volunteer program. Instead, I was a part of the volunteer training program for becoming a tutor at the writing center next semester. During the training I was taught about Facilitative and  Directive tutoring procedures. I should try to be supportive while asking questions to the writer to make them think about what exactly they have written down and to convince them to think about revision on their own. Should they not understand that, I can be a bit more directive to noticing what is wrong with their paper, and get them to understand the changes that could be made. There was also role playing situations to test these strategies we learned, and I learned a lot about what we need to do.
Part 2:
For this project, I will work a lot on the revision of the old tri-fold and make it appear nicer. There are several potential formats that I believe will work well for the group. However, it is hard to be certain exactly the changes I will be making until I get access to the old tri-fold. I also have ideas about how to produce them as well, but again, I won't exactly know what I will be doing until I get access to the old tri-fold and see what second chance would like us to do.

  1. once we have access to the old tri-fold it will be easier to see what needs to be done for the revison and re-tooling of the tri-fold. and i agree that we need to see what second chance animal whats in thier brochure, becouse it would suck to write up somthing tey dont need.

  2. We'll definitely have to make sure the tri-fold includes their website and facebook name as well. The only way they will be able to spread the word about their organization will be if the audience has easy access to additional information.
