Instructions Assignment 1

Mapping a classroom often gives one insight into the nature of the student-teacher interaction. Think about a classroom you have observed in person or in videos and make a sketch of the teacher’s classroom and have and then trace the teacher’s traffic patterns during the lesson. 

Consider the following questions for mapping. 

Where did the teacher spend the most time? Least time? Were any students ignored? Were there specific reasons for little or no teacher interaction with these students? 

Did the classroom arrangement influence the teachers’ movement?  What changes need to be made in the walking pattern? What changes, if any, would you make in the classroom arrangement?

· Room arrangement map, or maps for different types of activities including a student seating arrangement, teacher desk, resources, displays, etc. You should include a written explanation of your choice of arrangement(s). Use computer software for visuals.

· Explain one map for the type of activity and how it will work.

· Classroom Rules — How are they arrived at? What might they include? How are they communicated to students, parents, administrators, etc.? What is your policy about the hall passes?
