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.

As I see most teachers are using group organization. when I

ask their teacher about the reason she said that it is much
easier for students to share their emotion also it is suitable
for the actives they have especially they are doing a lot of
activity.
