The traditional setup is similar to the standard arrangement, with the distinction that students are seated in pairs instead of rows. This arrangement fosters a calmer classroom environment as students engage in discussions and collaborate within their pairs. This arrangement is particularly suited when the teacher gives a lecture, in which students primarily listen and take notes. In this setup, all students can see the teacher and the slides and have plenty of space.

Traditional Classroom layout Learning Activities:

Exit Ticket: brief assessment at the end of the class to gauge understanding.
