Group Video

We divided the class in four groups, each group created a video in where we tried to leave different messages based on what we learned during the Spring II semester in our class "Teaching Writing" with the prof. Justin Rogers-Cooper. Hopefully this video will be helpful for the future students of ENG220. The message that our group left on this video was "Am I a tutor or a therapist", I believe our video come up great!!. We did not have to repeat the same film since everything came up as we planned. 
We decided to make the film on the C- building on one of the hallways there which we though it was a very good setting for our idea. We worked perfect as a team we all bring in stuff to make the setting even better in our film, the situation for our video was a not that interested student that usually spend her free time on parties and did not care about the school. This particular student expected the tutor to do the work for her so she wan continue going out, and invited the tutor to go out with her as well. The tutor tries to stand back but she ended getting into the conversation with the tutee, which demonstrates that, the tutor also play the therapist part. The film ends when the tutor suggest the student to read a book and try to focus on the assignment which make the student get mad because the tutor did not do the essay for her and now she needs spend time on it and probably miss the party for that night.  I believe that the video show our point that the tutor can be a therapist since she listened to the tutee but get back on truck when they need to work on the easy being a tutor.
