Seating arrangement
The document discusses effective classroom seating arrangements. It considers three main factors in arranging seating: the planned classroom activities, class size, and available classroom space. The most common seating arrangements described are traditional rows, clusters or groups, and a U-shape or circle. Each arrangement has pros and cons depending on the teaching approach and needs of the students. The conclusion is that while no single arrangement is perfect, the layout should be chosen based on the students' needs and how the class material will be presented.
