Research Chicago-area events and opportunities in the language you tutor.
Use Google to find events (concerts, films, lectures) and exhibits (museums, Chicago Cultural Center, UIC campus) related to your tutor/LLA language.
Listed below are some places to look for cultural events to get you started, but you don’t need to limit yourself to these.
Try to choose an event a couple weeks in the future, so you have time to make, edit, and post your findings before the event happens.
Follow the directions for an Instagram post:
Go to the Google Drive and make a document for the current semester.
Please be sure to name the document clearly! For example: "[Your First & Last Name] [Current Semester] Instagram Post Drafts"
Please also use a pageless layout for the document: click file in the top-left corner, then page setup near the bottom of that menu, and click pageless.
On the Google Document, create a graphic and a short caption (less than 100 words).
Send a LINK to your document to Dr. Weber (edweber@uic.edu) and LCLC staff (lclc@uic.edu) for review.
Once your draft is reviewed, make any necessary additions or changes and send the document to Dr. Weber & LCLC again.
Once your post is approved, you will post it on the peer tutoring Instagram (@lclc_peer_tutoring).
