1. Ideal learning environment The place you work in can make a big difference to the quality of your work.

2. Designing your ideal learning environment Look at the following pictures and think what do you like / dislike about them? How could you make this? You need to have a small box (classroom) and you will make all the furniture.

3. Conventional? Little displays = no distractions. Bright and clean

4. Modern? Lots of computers, no windows, comfy chairs

5. Futuristic? Funky designed furniture, cool storage space. No windows, and does not look comfortable.

6. Bright? Huge windows, lots of light. sofas for relaxing and a working area for working

7. Cosy? Calming yellow walls, work areas and relaxing areas.

8. Modern layout. Stepped rows (like a cinema) so everyone can see the front of the classroom.

9. Consider the layout of the tables and chairs. Should they be in a semi-circle this the picture? Or, should you have rows, circle groups, or just scattered around the classroom?

10. My ideal learning environment Draw a design in your books first. Consider: Colour of the walls / floor Windows How the tables and chairs will be arranged Modern / conventional Do you want a relaxing area A water fountain You need to design the wall displays! Anything else? My ideal learning environment
