After the observation

Think about why the classroom layout is organized as it is. Ask

your MST why the desk/tables are arranged as they are and
the function of each area of the classroom.

Most of the classrooms in this school make the students desk in a

group because the teacher want the students to work together in
many activities. So, it is easy for students to discuss and work.
But the student desks are very big, and the classroom size is
small, so it is no space in the class to walk around it. They dont
have too much thing in the class; they only have a whiteboard for
.teaching, teacher table, small locker, and shelves
