Writing Effective Overviews

One of the recent changes you will notice on Rubric 2.0 and Tutoring Template 2.0 takes place in the introduction stage of session. After identifying where the student is stuck, an overview should be provided to the student to communicate a plan of action and set expectations for their participation:

Overview 1

Overview 3

Below are 3 example situations– please take a moment to respond with possible overviews via the discussion box below:

Situation 1:
A student is asked to find the volume of a cylinder, but is unsure of which formula to use.

Situation 2:
A student is graphing an inequality, but is having trouble deciding where to shade their graph in order to complete their solution.

Situation 3:
A student is asked to use the law of sines to solve a word problem. They have made some progress, but their uploaded work shows a computational error which is causing confusion.

There many different ways to communicate a helpful overview to the students in the situations above. Take a moment to review the new Rubric and Tutor Template and share your own ideas below!
