1. Jarod teaches 6th-grade language arts. He has to make do with a small classroom. Figure 3.6 shows the layout of his classroom. On table 1, he keeps the handouts for the day. Students turn in homework by stacking their papers on table 1. The bookshelves are where he stores additional textbooks that his classes are not currently using. Table 2 is where he keeps reference books that students need for current group projects that are the focus of the class for the next 2 weeks. Evaluate the physical layout that Jarod has developed for his classroom.

What additional questions would you like to ask Jarod about his instructional style or teaching context that would help you better evaluate his classroom?
