I met with Nadine during lunch. She forgot her schoolwork at home, so I suggested we read a short article from the various Time Magazines that were offered in the coffee lounge. She picked out an article that interested her, which was one on Patty Jenkins, the female director of Wonder Woman. We took turns reading out loud, and for the most part, she understood what was being said. I asked her questions along the way that pertained to the article, or asked her if it related to her own life in any way. We actually got into a good discussion on the feminist movement in Burkina Faso, started by Thomas Sankara, the person she chose to write about in her last essay. She explained that the Women's Liberation Movement was encouraged by Sankara, and many older politicians did not support it like he did.
Although this tutoring session was not as structured, I think reading and discussing like this strengthens her grammar and English in use skills, because the conversation happened very organically, and mirrors how people would normally speak. I would consider this an intensive reading activity.
