The teacher starts asking the following questions:
Can you think of a time when being involved in
decision-making (like creating rules) helped you
feel more responsible or motivated? How could this
apply to situations outside of school?
Why is it important to recognize and reward good
behavior in everyday life, such as at home or in
sports? How does this make people feel?
Yes, I remember when we
created rules for a group
project in class. I felt more
responsible because I had a
say in the decisions. Being
involved motivated me to
follow the rules and
contribute more to the
project. This can apply

G. Evaluating learning.
Activity: Designing a Collaborative and Inclusive
Classroom Layout
Students will design a classroom layout that fosters
collaboration, inclusivity, and maximum participation,
ensuring every student feels engaged and valued.
Instructions:
Have each student designs their ideal classroom
layout on paper
The layout should include areas for whole-group
discussions, small group work, individual work, and
spaces that accommodate students with diverse
needs (e.g., quiet zones, accessible desks, or
flexible seating).
Encourage students to think about furniture
arrangements, like circular or U-shaped seating for
collaboration, and ensure easy access to materials
for all students.
Students will present their layouts to the class,
explaining the rationale behind their design choices
and how it promotes collaboration, inclusivity, and
active participation.
Reflect on how different elements of the designs
support a conducive learning environment.
