Yes The Student's prompt is an "I need help with..." statement. Before jumping in with help, the Tutor offered a prompt to clarify for both of them the Student's level of knowledge. By responding to the Student's prompt with another prompt, the Tutor... kept the focus on the Student. required the Student to do the work -- an application of active learning. did not put the spotlight on himself to show how smart he is. allowed both Student and Tutor to discover what the Student knows. helped the Student gain self-confidence as a learner. helped the Student learn that "I don't know" is the first step to greater knowledge. If the Tutor's prompting revealed that the Student knew very little about similes and metaphors, the Tutor could... refer the Student to a textbook ("What does the text say?"). refer to lecture notes (What did the lecture say?"). offer an explanation and an example ("Similes and metaphors are ways to compare things. A simile..."). Remember that when the Tutor explains, the Student is a passive learner.
