I tutor a 14 year old boy. We are currently doing essay writting. I had a difficult time getting him to see the logic in writting an essay. I asked him what he does in his spare time, he told me he goes on the computer and watch you-tube. I took him to a computer and we looked at the you-tube sites. I asked him to look at the topic heading of each video and then he had to describe in 1 sentence what he thought the video was about. We practised this for a couple of lessons he really enjoyed it. He now knows how the heading looks visually and he can visualize the topic sentence, making it easier to write. When he gets a topic to write about he pretends that it is a you-tube clip. He now no longer fears essays it is still not easy but now he knows he can.
