The classroom can be managed through the physical elements of a classroom. How a teacher decides to place the furniture and learning material has a big impact on what kind of environment is in the classroom, it has to optimize learning and reduce distractions.

A group activity is also very popular in her classroom where the learners must have a group discussion on the lesson. Lastly she gives the learners a written revision activity on the lesson that the learners have to complete in their scripts.
