The room is prepared prior to the students’ arrival with questions, sample work, statements, documents, images, or short cases placed on the walls around the room. Students are asked to walk throughout the classroom engaging with the work on the walls. They may work alone or in small groups to share ideas and respond to meaningful questions or prompts about the work on the walls.
