I felt like I knew a lot of the information in this unit already from my past years of teaching. Many of the components of the chapter, including seating arrangements, building rapport, and maintaining discipline were very familiar concepts to me. In my career, I have tried many seating arrangements and personally enjoy the horseshoe and group seating the best. I liked the section that highlighted the benefits of pair work and group work. Though these activities can definitely sometimes make the classroom noisier, I think social skills are an important component of the classroom, as well. It is important for me to not only teach the skills of reading and writing in my classroom, but also how to work and communicate with others. As for maintaining discipline, I personally like the Responsive Classroom format. I think it builds rapport in the community and establishes fair consequences. I really agreed with the statement that being enthusiastic and loving your job will make the students feel better in the classroom and help to build rapport. The teacher is part of the classroom community, too! Overall, I felt that I knew many of the things in this chapter previously (from my teaching experience), but it was nice to get a refresher.
