- 5. Horseshoe or U-shape.
4. A Long Row
The students sit or stand up next and across from each other. This set- up is typically found in science labs and writing workshops. It is a good arrangement for group work and large group projects. The philosophy of the teacher who would set up their classroom with this row is for collaborative learning. They motivate their students by letting them work together, and it helps students learn how to learn. During writing workshops it is easy for students to turn to a person and do a peer editing and to share their work. It is also possible for speaking practice. In science labs it is sensible to have a large table where everyone can observe the item and have discussion about it. 5. Horseshoe or U-shape. Tables in a horseshoe or three sided square shape. You can also use the space inside the horseshoe shape for many different activities. You can stand up and sit down, depending on the activities you want to do with your students. When standing, students can also do it in U-shape. This is great if you're doing board work and speaking activities. All the students will still be able to see you, the board and each other and you will have a lovely space in the middle of the horse shoe and around the outside to monitor. If you have a very large class you can get a similar effect by having one horseshoe inside another and using double rows.

Full Circle Tables pushed to the walls and just the chairs in a circle. You can sit in the circle with your students. If they need to write at certain times of the lesson they can either go to work at the tables facing the walls around the outside or they can rest a folder on their knees and stay in the circle. The circle formation is great for many games, group discussions, welcoming your students at the beginning of the class, doing the register and really talking to your students. In each class, there must different types of learners with their own strengths and weaknesses. Applying different types of seating arrangements enable you to facilitate all types of learners almost equally. If you stick to the same seating arrangement, there must be certain learners that get the most benefit in your class while some other learners cannot get the maximum benefit in it. I suggest you try as many classroom layouts as you can to see how you feel most comfortable. Experiment using as many layouts as possible. If you really can't change the seats and desks in your classrooms, then do spend time thinking about how you can vary the students’ position and where you put yourself among your students. The classroom dynamics can improve dramatically when you change the layout. It is a matter of experimenting and seeing what works best for you and your students. It is good if you take this into consideration when you write your lesson plan at the lesson planning stage. Download 1.05 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
