Co- Consultant #1

When I sat down to co-consultant for the first time I was really nervous...
The first we did was the normal, copy the paper, read the assignment sheet, and then have the client read the paper out loud. The person was an ESL student working on a paper for her science class. The assignment was to summarize chapters of a book. The assignment was completed and the professor had commented that the summaries need to be more complete.

The way that the consultant and I worked together was that we both took turns asking leading questions. The questions we asked were mainly, "What do you think the purpose of this chapter was?", or "can you give an example?" By asking these questions the client seemed to answer the assignment much more clearly. So we had her write some of what she said down as an example of how the summary should look.

Overall me and the consultant worked well together and seemed to play off each others comments, making for what I thought a good overall session.
