Step 4 Quality  of Life in the Classroom

You are going to determine the quality of life of the classroom.  This means that you are going to determine how good the life in the classroom is.  You will do this by:

 

1. Choosing two or three things to measure the quality of life of the classroom.  (These are the two or three things that would determine whether it is good in the classroom) It could be a question such as does the classroom have good food or does it smell good in the classroom.

 

2. Ask each of your classmates if they believe these things are in the classroom and record their answers.

 

3. Use the chart attached to record their answers and calculate the quality of life in the class

 

 

 

4. On your website write whether you think think this classroom has a high or low quality of life and why.
