Abstract

The classroom is bustling with activity and Miss Lawson calls out, "five more minutes." Scattered throughout the room are groups of four and five students crowded around each of the five low-standing circular work desks. A palpable buzz of enthusiasm fills the air as these groups deliberate amongst themselves before hurriedly filling in the large sheets of poster paper sitting on their work desks.
