Sample class arrangement
The sample class set-up shown is favorable for my class which is a third grade literature class. It is comprised of 13 students. Two of the students have an Islamic background and the rest have a Christian background.
Research shows that it is important that the demographic arrangement of a classroom provides learning stations. These learning stations should be set up in a way that doesn’t overlap. Desks should be arranged facing the board and the charts should be on either the left wall or the right wall.
