Miss Savage is a first-year teacher. She is extremely exciting about setting up her classroom. She goes to the teacher supply store and buys many posters, charts, and displays for her walls. She also spends time making several items that she puts up: a welcome back to school bulletin board, a calendar, and a place for daily assignments to be posted. She invites you in to view her room a few days before the students arrive; you notice that the walls are virtually covered in fun, engaging print and pictures. When she asks you what you think about her room you say,

a. Wow Any kid would be lucky to be in this roomthere is so much to see that it'll never get boring..
b. I know how hard you have worked on this, and it looks fantastic But you might want to take a bit of it back down and leave some blank space; it's awfully stimulating. You can save the things you take down for later..
c. I suggest you hang some mobiles or something from the ceiling That's all it needs to be perfect
d. I think it's better to have the walls completely blank when the year starts, and add to them as the year progresses..

Question 2

Mr. Li's pencil sharpener is located near the aquarium and the garbage can. This arrangement is likely to be

a. a good one, since students can sharpen their pencils and throw away any trash at the same time.
b. a poor one, since students may spend more time than is desirable in the area as they watch the fish or throw items away
c. a poor one, since generally teachers keep the pencil sharpener and garbage can in different areas of the room.
d. irrelevant, since it is solely the teacher's use and enforcement of rules that affects students' behavior.
