Share Chair
Sharing is a big part in process writing in the classroom. This chair will serve as a comfortable place for students to share their work. It will also serve as the spot for the teacher to do read alouds that exemplify the elements of writing.
Share/ Classroom Carpet
This space will serve as a gathering space for the class to enjoy stories via peer writing and literature.
Classroom Library
Having literature for the students explore that show the elements of writing in a good way is essential so I have included a classroom library in my floor plan. For the classroom library I have split it into two different bookcases for the students and are as fallows.
Bookcase 1: Fiction
Bookcase 2: Non-fiction
Bookcase 1: Fiction
Bookcase 2: Non-fiction
Whiteboards
Whiteboards are a way to communicate between persons in the classroom so I have included it in this ideal layout of the classroom.
