Unconventional Classroom Arraignment
Christina, I think having an art class would definitely require an unconventional classroom arraignment. Personally, I am not very familiar with how art classrooms are arraigned but it sounds like an open plan would be beneficial. I will be teaching social studies so I will use a variety of arraignments depending on what we are doing in class. It would be nice to have individual desks because I feel like those are the most flexible in terms of arraignment. On an average day, I will probably have the classroom arraigned with all desks facing the smart board and spaced evening in rows to have good flow, however, there will be times we push them together for group projects and when having a classroom discussion we will either do a circle or a
U shape. Like you, I will probably experiment quite a bit during my first year as a teacher.
Thanks, for sharing your thoughts and ideas on classroom arraignment. You did a nice job going into detail about classroom arraignments and gave plenty of examples of what you would do, therefore, I give you 5 stars. Great job!
