Based on the following article and the results of a questionnaire given to members, you make a handout for a group discussion. ┌────────────────────────────────────┐ ｜　　　　　　　　　　[What Makes a Good Classroom?]　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜　　　　　　Diana Bashworth, writer at Trends in Education　　　　　　　｜ ｜　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜　As many schools work to improve their classrooms, it is important to　｜ ｜have some ideas for making design decisions. SIN, which stands for　　　｜ ｜Stimulation, Individualization, and Naturalness, is a framework that　　｜ ｜might be helpful to consider when designing classrooms.　　　　　　　　 ｜ ｜　The first, Stimulation, has two aspects: color and complexity. This 　｜ ｜has to do with the ceiling, floor, walls, and interior furnishings. For ｜ ｜example, a classroom that lacks colors might be uninteresting. On the 　｜ ｜other hand, a classroom should not be too colorful. A bright color could｜ ｜be used on one wall, on the floor, window coverings, or furniture. In 　｜ ｜addition, it can be visually distracting to have too many things　　　　｜ ｜displayed on walls. It is suggested that 20 to 30 percent of wall space ｜ ｜remain free.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜　The next item in the framework is Individualization, which includes 　｜ ｜two considerations: ownership and flexibility. Ownership refers to　　　｜ ｜whether the classroom feels personalized. Examples of this include　　　｜ ｜having chairs and desks that are suitable for student sizes and ages, 　｜ ｜and providing storage space and areas for displaying student works or 　｜ ｜projects. Flexibility is about having a classroom that allows for 　　　｜ ｜different kinds of activities.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜　Naturalness relates to the quality and quantity of light, both natural｜ ｜and artificial, and the temperature of the classroom. Too much natural　｜ ｜light may make screens and boards difficult to see; students may have 　｜ ｜difficulty reading or writing if there is a lack of light. In addition, ｜ ｜hot summer classrooms do not promote effective study. Schools should　　｜ ｜install systems allowing for the adjustment of both light and 　　　　　｜ ｜temperature.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜　While Naturalness is more familiar to us, and therefore often 　　　　｜ ｜considered the priority, the other components are equally important.　　｜ ｜Hopefully, these ideas can guide your project to a successful end.　　　｜ └────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────┐ ｜　　　　　　　　　　[Results of the Questionnaire]　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜[Q1: Choose any items that match your use of the English club's room.]　｜ ｜┌───────────────────―──────────────┐｜ ｜｜　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Number of club members = 38｜｜ ｜｜　　　 Chatting in English ｜■4　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜｜ ｜｜　　　Chatting in Japanese ｜■■■■■■■■30　　　　　　　　　　 ｜｜ ｜｜Checking out English books ｜■■8　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜｜ ｜｜　　Doing English homework ｜■■■10　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ｜｜ ｜｜　Playing smartphone games ｜■■■■■18　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ｜｜ ｜｜　　　　　　　　　Sleeping ｜■■■■■■■■■32　　　　　　　　　 ｜｜ ｜｜　　　　　　　　　　 Other ｜■■■12　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ｜｜ ｜└──────────────────────────────────┘｜ ｜　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜[Q2: What do you think about the current English club's room?]　　　　　｜ ｜Main comments:　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜Student 1(S1): I can't see the projector screen and whiteboard well on a｜ ｜　sunny day. Also, there's no way to control the temperature.　　　　　 ｜ ｜S2: By the windows, the sunlight makes it hard to read. The other side　｜ ｜　of the room doesn't get enough light. Also, the books are disorganized｜ ｜ and the walls are covered with posters. It makes me feel uncomfortable.｜ ｜S3: The chairs don't really fit me and the desks are hard to move when　｜ ｜　we work in small groups. Also, lots of members speak Japanese, even 　｜ ｜　though it's an English club.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜S4: The pictures of foreign countries on the walls make me want to speak｜ ｜　English. Everyone likes the sofas――they are so comfortable that we　｜ ｜　often use the room for sleeping!　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜S5: The room is so far away, so I hardly ever go there! Aren't there　　｜ ｜　other rooms available?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　｜ ｜S6: There's so much gray in the room. I don't like it. But it's good　　｜ ｜　that there are plenty of everyday English phrases on the walls!　　　 ｜ └────────────────────────────────────┘
