Ideal ELA Classroom *I have hard copy picture of classroom that I printed; I didn't, however, save the picture so I will post it once I redo the setup on the given website! ** Publishing Area/Mini Computer Lab ** Having computer access in the classroom is very important for students revision process. Not all students have access to a computer, and having some in the classroom for students to take advantage of, is very helpful. As Rief states, students have the option of what they want to publish and if they want to publish their work. This area inspires and motivates students to have work that they are proud of and want to show off to their peers. ** Shelves/ Bookstand and Other Resources for Reading & Writing Workshop: ** This station is filled with dictionaries, encyclopedias, young literature books for in-common reading, as well as independent selections that can be checked out by students from my Mini-Library which Rief recommends having in the classroom. I would keep a databast spreadsheet of all of the reading selections in my class library, recommended by Rief. In this space I have a lot of different materials that student may borrow to workshop their work, such as highlighters, pens, correction tape, pens, and paper. ** Independent Reading Space ** This space is for students who want to move out of their seat to find a comfortable space to read for fun. During silent reading, students can spread out and have more space to read their novels in this area in the classroom.
