Rationale- We always structured the classroom so the students were close to us while we were teaching and we always set up everything beforehand, such as big grown paper for the desks or tables, and any materials they were going to need for that day either at their work area or near by. We made posters that broke down the steps they were taking for the ceramic game boards as well as posters for their print-making stations that organized them and gave them helpful tips for each stations.
