Blog # 11 Moving up

As, I was observing Dr. Chandler and Sam yesterday at the writing center, I have noticed that there was a lot of positive feedback and the encouragement was positive. The tutor and the student talked was easy to talk to. As I was sitting down one of the topics that came into my mind was that I could analyze the description between 1). What are the characteristics of a good peer tutor? In an effective writing center I feel that the tutor and the writer must work together. A peer student and tutor relationship is important because both the student and the tutor have to bring relevant information to the table in order to succeed. As tutors we are there to help the student become a better writer. Yesterday in our peer observing session I have learned that the tutor was helping the writer build up her confidence.
2). Another topic that would be to analyze the importance of different writing styles. For example, since the writing center does reflect society and there are different forms of communication that can be used. For example, sometimes you have to work with students who are death and students who's first language is not English.

3). I would like to analyze the difference in male and female such as the body language. I would like to do this because I would like to see how they act in a writer center. For example, if the student is a female and the tutor is a male their body language may differ between both and there might also be some similarities.
