First Project!
Today, we were put into our random groups for this semester and given our first assignment! The project is to think of a creative way to reform the tedious, bland, and impractical classroom right across from ours. Some things to keep in mind are seat placement, convenience, and mood. In our groups, we'll have to think of a creative way to make sure every student feels engaged and alive. For example, my teacher's example of a bad seating arrangement is "The Cemetery Effect". The classroom we're going to help improve uses that exact seating chart, and must be altered! Mr. Paterson showed us some examples of fresh, ingenious ideas that have been thought of and implemented so far. One example of that is the node chairs. Its features include rollers which make moving around easier, storage space just beneath the seat for space-efficiency, and a plastic shell for maximum comfort. We will make sure to find a chair that is not only cost efficient, but is also comfort...
