Moses Tutor #9


On the final night of working on Eric’s paper, we went over it with a fine tooth comb.  We made sure his transitions were solid and that his tenses all matched and his spelling was perfect.  Again, we did a couple of read-throughs aloud.  By the time we finished, he felt comfortable that the paper was something he wanted to submit.  The final step was to go through the bibliography and make sure that each expert, quote and fact was from a listed source.  It took a while, but I am a real stickler for this and the bibliography covered everything by the time we finished and there were no unused sources listed.  After we finished, we discussed what we could cover in the next session and decided that he was excited and interested in a session devoted to colloquialisms and idioms.  He works at the Doubletree hotel as well as going to college and felt that having a better understanding of idioms would be of great benefit.
