In my second session with Rafael, I read over the initial
outline that he had written and discussed with him how it could be
improved. In the outline of the initial
paragraph, he had not set out a hypothesis and rambled. I explained to him the goal of the first
paragraph. He came up with a new outline
listing a hypothesis that his country had lovable aspects and listed 3. In his next paragraph, I had him take the
first aspect of his country, compare it to another country that he had visited
and concluded that his was superior in his eyes. We did the same with the outline of the
second and third paragraphs covering the next two aspects. His final paragraph out was to sum up the
hypothesis and proofs and end with a strong closing statement. He said that in his class, he had not
understood this method and that I had cleared it up for him considerably.
