ANALYZE
1. What should the teacher have in mind when he/she designs the
classroom
organization?
What about
you,
do
you
have
theories/principles for this? What are they?
 When creating the routines, the teacher should keep in mind that they
must work along with the kids to be more cautious. He/she must ensure
that the students are involved in setting the rules and are aware of them.
Additionally, the teacher should plan an icebreaker activity so that the
students won't become bored and will continue to be interested in their
studies.
REFLECT
1. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what grade
year level do you see yourself?
 I see that I will be managing Senior High School students when I
organize my classroom in the future. Knowing that they are adults and
easy to manage, if I must handle them, I will perform routines or
processes that are certain to be appropriate for their age group. Since I
can still relate to their enthusiasm for life, I shall become a kind teacher
to them. We would talk about our experiences and offer them some
guidance. In the classroom, I will attend to their needs and keep the
environment vibrant. The rules and some learning areas are creatively
hanged in the wall. And the classroom design will be aesthetic so as the
information posted so they will be amazed and get an interest and
comfort to in the class.

2. What rules/procedures would you consider for this level? Why?
 I choose these set of rules so that the students will observe cleanliness
and to be responsible of their own being. I would also like to promote
values and unity inside the classroom and good relationship between
myself and the students.
