Tutor Tip: YouTube Travel Videos
Literacy Volunteers HBPL
Literacy
Volunteers HBPL: 11.20.2020
Using short YouTube
travel videos is a great way to have a conversation and practice writing.
Start the
lesson by asking your learner to watch a video prior to your meeting time, or
watch it together on Zoom. Afterwards, talk about what you each saw in the
video.
Then,
practice writing!
Both you and
your learner, independently, hand-write what you took away from the video, what
was new, what you enjoyed, where you’d like to travel... Focus on putting ideas
down on paper, not so much about spelling or grammar.
Last, read
your sentences to each other person.
Literacy Volunteers HBPL is recruiting for adult volunteer tutors to assist other adults increase their English literacy skills.
Do you have a
couple of hours a week to volunteer? Want to help someone read and write better
than they do now? Join our volunteer team and help an adult gain skills to get
a better job, help their children, read medical information and more.
All training
will conducted online via Zoom, and all tutoring will be done online at this
time. Workshops for both Central & Oak View programs start soon, so don’t
delay!
Even though
current conditions prevent you from meeting your adult learner face-to-face,
you CAN help someone reach their goals. Begin your literacy volunteering by
completing the online Tutor
Orientation tutorial today.
We have two
programs, the Adult Literacy Program at Central Library (714) 375-5102 and the
Oak View Literacy Program at the Oak View Branch Library (714) 375-5104.
We always need tutors!
