It's the end of July, and Ms. Decatur, newly hired, is getting ready to start a job as a second-grade teacher at Martin Elementary School. She excitedly enters her classroom for the first time, thinking about all the different decisions she'll need to make before school even gets started. It's overwhelming, but she decides to simply start from the most logical point for establishing a well-managed classroom. Which one of the following activities would you expect to see her do first?a. developing procedures to ensure student accountabilityb. considering the physical space and her instructional expectations, then working to arrange the furniture and suppliesc. reading all the students' cumulative files so she knows as much as possible about her class before they arrived. planning activities for the first day of school, making sure to include a motivating get-acquainted activity

b. Considering the physical space and her instructional expectations, then working to arrange the furniture and supplies

Explanation:

When newly employed to an environment or an office space, it's required you carry out an examination on the space of the office before thinking of innovation and how you want things to be place to your taste or choice. Ms. Decatur should first do an examination on the physical space she's occupying, take measurements one what can be fixed and what's not necessary, it's only when she's able to take precise measurement and consider what she needs and not, that's when she can fix in those structures she has in mind.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)

protectionism fosters competition and keeps price regulated is not an argument in favor of protectionism.
