ANALYZE
Analyze the different elements of personal/physical classroom management and answer the following questions.
1. How does the voice of the teacher affect classroom instruction?

Ans: The teacher's voice is essential for engaging students during discussions. It is also an important tool for
establishing a good rapport. When the teacher's voice is heard and understood clearly, the students' attention is
increased.
2. How does the punctuality of the teacher affect classroom discipline?
Ans: Teachers must set a good example for students by arriving on time, especially if they have punctuality rules. The
punctuality and behavior of the teacher reflect on the learners because if the learners see that their teacher is
punctual, they will try their hardest to emulate the teacher's behavior.
3. Why do we need to check on the physical aspects of classroom management?

Ans: We must examine the physical aspects of classroom management to ensure that both the teacher and the
students have an organized, free from destructions, and smooth flow of discussion and learning activities.

he or she formulate good instruction, because classroom management is an important tool for managing your class's
behaviors.
2. What are your plans in ensuring effective classroom management?
Ans: To ensure effective classroom management, I first develop a management plan and classroom rules. I will make

good teacher.
