From the very beginning of the scene, we see a very caring and worried Frank who is 1st concerned about the way Rita enters his office (then he knows it was because of excitement), then he is concerned about her health and how she eats: "Look, how about a proper lunch?" he asks her.
This attitude of sharing, in this case the apple and the can of soda, between student and teacher is the one that called my attention.
In my opinion, this is a clear example that there is more to teaching than just delivering the lesson to the students but caring about them, asking them about their lives is also part of it.
In fact, Rita learns something in this "lesson": the difference between Tragedy and Tragic but what is important is the fact that Frank asks Rita about Denny, he invites her to his dinner party at his house, and so on.
HUMANIZE YOUR TEACHING!
THINK OF YOUR STUDENT AS A PERSON AND NOT MERELY AS A LEARNER!
