Under the heading, Types of classroom, I broke up the section in elementary, middle school, high school, and college.

Under elementary I added a hyper link for elementary schools and Pre-k. I added that a whole group is usually 18 to 26 students. In a traditional classroom there is sometimes multiple teachers. This then can lead into the section about special education classrooms. I added this whole little section about self-contained classrooms and hyper linked: self-contained, integrated or inclusion classroom, and IEP. I combined middle school and high school because they are set up quite similar and I hyper linked the two types of classrooms. I added a part about have a TA in college and what they may do to help students Hyper linked professors Seperated the other types of classrooms that middle/high schools and colleges may have Added a picture of an elementary style classroom — Preceding unsigned comment added by JessnHolman (talk • contribs) 20:52, 2 November 2018 (UTC) I removed the words typically from the classroom section.

I think you have some good contributions. Just make sure to cite each statement. Every statement/assertion should have a source of support. I think a section on preschool classrooms would be an appropriate contribution for this group. There is little need for you to feel that you need to correct the entire article. Instead focus on what you would like to add and what areas you have the most expertise. When you make an edit to the article, make sure to chronicle the changes and reasons why in the talk page.

I agree with Madelyn's recommendation of splitting up this big paragraph into different sections. Specifically, you could section it by grade level: Preschool, Elementary, High School, College, etc. I also suggest maybe talking about preschool classrooms and daycare classrooms because those differ so greatly from elementary through college. You can talk about why those differences are necessary and why the classroom is set up differently. Acraft2 (talk) 23:02, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Overall, I think that your contributions to this article added to the information that was there in a more informed way. But, I do think that there are ways that you can make this article more in depth with even more information that corresponds to the issues surrounding classrooms. For example, I like that you bring up the different classroom types not just talk about elementary classrooms. But, it would be better if like Madelyn said, you broke these into sections and really explained them. Like what is the big differences between a college class and an elementary class and why are they this way? There are obvious reasons such as age-level but, what else is different and why? I think this will really add to the strength of your article. Also, I think separating the Special Education classroom format from the regular education classroom is important. These students have different needs and I think it is important to discuss what is included in these classrooms that meet these students’ needs. You talk about grouping habits. I think separating this into another section would be helpful. Why are certain classes grouped in certain ways? What does this mean for the students involved? Why is it important? What about the computer labs and gymnasiums or the “other” classrooms? I’m sure there is a good bit of information on these classes somewhere online. I think it would be cool to add some information here and cite it. In the historical section of your article there is a lot of good information. But, where did you get this information from? Also, why did you stop at the 1960s? How does the history of classrooms relate to today’s classrooms? You also talk about research in this section, but you don’t cite it? I do not see any citations at all. I think that it is extremely important that you cite all of the information that you found on the internet. I see that you linked some words here and there but where are your citations? This is definitely something you need to work on to make your article stronger. Also, why did you guys decide to delete so much from your article. When reading through it, there was some information that could really help the article's strength. For instance, the argument of what should be on the walls in a classroom. Like we talk about in class, too much can distract kids. Also, I think talking about challenges in the classroom can also benefit the reader. If you deleted it because it was plagiarized, it may be better to go back and find out reliable information for those sections. Overall, I think that you have provided good information. But, you definitely can strengthen this information by going more in depth, organizing a little different, and adding citations wherever you make a statement about facts.

I do think splitting everything into different paragraphs will be very benefical. It will allow the reader to see the differences in classrooms between gradelevel. You mention data and research throughout. Specically in paragraph 2, "Research shows, that the visual acuity of students can be affected by different types of fluorescent lighting. Visual acuity is defined as, the sharpness of vision or clarity of vision." Howwever you have no citations to prove your information is reliable. I know you'll get points off for that so go ahead and fix it!! Overall, I think you are on the right track, great job!

I saw there was a section about what could be found in a classroom. Now that we know so much about DAP and have the DAP book you could probably add more specific details about how furniture and other objects in the classroom will be smaller for early childhood classrooms. Overall, the additions you have made to the article look great. If you were more specific about what goes on in each different type of classroom such as the gymnasium, etc. it would be really interesting to read about! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jknig38 (talk • contribs) 11:23, 23 October 2018 (UTC) Jknig38 (talk) 11:33, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
