File your teaching materials in a system that will be easy to remember. Color-coded or alphabetized file cabinets are two organization systems that are easy to keep up with. Keep your files near your desk for quick reference and use.
Create a space in the classroom for students to write. This could be a table with a couple of benches or a grouping of desks. Stock the area with writing paper and pencils so that students are able to write when ideas strike them.
Organize a small library in a corner of the classroom. Line the shelves with reference materials that aid students in writing. This could include dictionaries, thesauruses and examples of other authors' writings. Include books of poetry, novels and short stories to give students examples of a variety of writing styles and to inspire their writing.
Arrange the furniture so students are able to move around and so that you are able to offer instruction to the entire class. Arrange desks in a row or group a couple of tables with chairs facing in one direction, which allows you to stand in front of the class and teach about writing and gives students a place to share their writing with classmates.
Test out your design and make adjustments as necessary. Implement your design for several weeks to determine what works and what needs to be changed. For example, you might find that students pay more attention facing away from a window, or that your file cabinet is easier to access on the right side of your desk rather than the left.
