learning from reading

A lot from the readings has really mirrored things we've talked about in class. I'm referring to developing the writer, not the reader and working within a multicultural context. It's interesting to me that the readings don't really stand out in my mind until I'm faced with a similar situation in the writing center. I'll mention the multicultural article here because I've come into contact with two students from different cultures in the past couple of weeks. I didn't have to alter my tutoring methods very much (because the students had fairly good English skills), but I certainly recalled the article when the session began. I considered the students' backgrounds and how they might impact the session. I feel like all of that kind of melts away, though, once we meet eye to eye on the student's assignment.
