Classroom Management: Teacher seemed in control most of the time, the students mostly read

Student Participation: High, all students read diligently, all paid attention
The regular teacher was sick for this session, so a substitute ran the class. I think this was a good session to watch in order to see how to handle a classroom on the spur of the moment.
This was a reading class and today the students were finishing the book "Frindle". I had never heard of this book, but I think it is excellent reading material for this level of students. I like that the book makes reference to real life American cultural examples, such as the David Letterman show.
The instructor played the CD and the student read along. While they read, she occasionally wrote words on the board. After the reading, the instructor went over these vocabulary words and made sure all the students understood them. I like how she used examples from her own life to relate to the vocabulary words.
The teacher was nice and took charge of the classroom even though it was not her usual class.
