Analysis: Analyze the outcome of each activity by checking the
completed sentences for correct subject-verb-object structure. Discuss
any common mistakes made by the students and provide additional
examples to reinforce the concept.

Abstraction: Summarize the importance of using the subject, verb, and

object structure to create clear and meaningful sentences. Emphasize
how this structure helps in effective communication.
