GCU style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

These are the question that you will need to answer to make the chart
Margot is a first grader who has autism. Currently
Margot’s desk is located near the classroom teacher’s
desk. The current room arrangement consists of student
desks being placed in pairs, with Margot’s “partner”
being the classroom teacher. Margot is progressing
academically in this setting. However, her social skills
remain below those of her peers. Using the information
from the text, design a classroom layout to help her
increase the number of positive interactions Margot has
with her peers.
2. Create a list of classroom rules. Describe how you will
explain and teach these rules to your class. This could
include modeling, guided practice, role-play, etc.
3. Brainstorm a list of times throughout a school day in
which your class and students will go through a transition.
This might include arriving at school, preparing to
go to lunch, or turning in a completed assignment.
Select two of these necessary transitions, and develop a
routine to teach your students to make this transition
go smoothly.
4. Consider the idea of adding materials to the
playground environment that was discussed in this
chapter. Design an activity that would foster social
interaction and inclusion of all students at recess by
adding props or materials. What materials or props
would you add? What activity would you have students
engage in?
5. Explain why it is important in a collaborative environment
to work together when designing the physical
space of the classroom, including wall space, furniture,
and materials. +
