The third observation was during language arts and reading period. The students were reviewing subject and predicate using sentences from a workbook. Mrs. Yglesias would copy a sentence from the workbook onto the pyrethrum board. Then she would choose a student to read the sentence and select the subject. Straightaway, she would underline the student’s answer on the board with a red marker. Subsequently, the teacher would choose a different student to reread the sentence and identify the predicate.
