The 10 steps in Action • Let’s watch the AVID video of the 10 steps of Tutorials and identify what each person should be doing; the student, the tutor, and the group. • While watching it take down a couple key points during those steps.

Focus on Steps 1-3 • Reminder: What are the 1st 3 steps? • Instead of deciding on different groups every time we are going to use our grades to tell us which tutorial group would be best for our improvement. • Read and fill out how to calculate your G.P.A. and answer the analysis questions.

Act like your talking to a 5th grader. • For example: In history the word tyrant means a leader who has all control and does not let the people be involved in any decision making. Some of the colonists believed King George was a tyrant.

What do you do during tutorials? 1. Take Cornell Notes: Group members’ questions on left, notes on right. 2. Give lots of questions to the presenter to push them to find the right answer. YOU MAY NOT GIVE THEM THE ANSWER!! 3. Have a positive attitude and respect your classmates. Participation and attitude count!!

Let’s Collaborate!!! • We are going to practice tutorials and get the room setup and then you guys are going to actually to solve some problems together through inquiry. • You will have the answer to someone else’s question but you will not be able to give it to them you must keep asking them questions to push them to find the answer.

Keys to a good tutorial!! • You must keep asking questions that will help the person find the answer themselves. • You may not just give away the answer!!!!! • At the end the presenter decides on the final solution.

Let’s Practice • Let’s say I am having trouble in Basketball class. • So, I bring the following question to tutorials: • Why would the Lakers choose to add Ron Artest to the team after they won a championship with the team they have now?

Your Turn • We have 5 different classes for you to struggle in: • 1. Spongebob Squarepants • 2. Skateboarding • 3. PS2 • 4. Hip-Hop/Rap • 5. Summer Movies.

Dispatch: • Work with your partner on the Moving on Up handout. Turn the level 1 questions into level 2 and 3 questions.

Back to tutorials: You bring the questions, together we find the answers! • All questions must be Level 2 or higher.

Tutorial Quick ReviewAnswer the questions below. • 1. What is the purpose of tutorials? • 2. What are your responsibilities during tutorials? • 3. What kinds of questions are you going to bring? • 4. Do you ever just give the answer to a person in your group? Why or why not?

Just asking questions is hard, especially when you know the answer. • To show this we are going to get into groups of 6 and everyone is going to be given a question they have to answer and the answer to someone else’s question. • You must keep giving questions that • Will get the person closer to the answer on their own.
