my final observation
        I got to work with Nathen at the writing center. He also teaches at LaGuardia along with his boss Bert.One of Bert's old student came in and Nathen recognized her from the grammar class he had taught. English is the students second language so i strongly believe since the student got to work with Nathen a lot of his teaching came into play. I saw that there was a lot of red circle markings on her paper.
and the reason for the marking was the subject + verb.
    She kept repeating they,and he wanted to know who? is she talking about, and what were the person doing since the student was only talking about one person,The student needed to know the difference. He had a fun game which was to find how many subject she needs and verbs and who can be joiners. Joiners join sentences this method puts words together.
   Nathen had an example: saying Dog who ran? and ask her whats missing.this sentence needs more information. she was able to identify that its missing something.the second example :Dog who ran was big.This final sentence made the sentence complete.He also had her work on vowel sound like A, E, I, O, U,. and explained the difference between "I" sound   "Bite and Hit" . He had explain to her that sometime sound can make the word seem longer but they are not spelled the way we pronounce them like cap and cape to different word and spelling. Nathen gave her a tip he said  "don't rely on the article use her own words" she was able to explain what the article was about and he ask her if she agrees that music relieves stress and she was able to state her opinion and refer to passed experience. He said that she can use her past experience as an example that would be helpful. Student also had to many quotation marks. I believe this was an HOC although Nathen was able to understand what she had written she needed to add who she was talking about and what did the person do.
