In the past, it was thought that a well-managed class is one in which there was a pin-drop silence. All the time students were engaged in writing. There are different learning/teaching styles among students and teachers. When a teacher attempts to teach all students by applying one teaching methodology, it creates learning disturbance. Therefore apply different teaching learning methodologies. Students like to express their learning in a number of ways. Therefore, they should be given an opportunity to express themselves. Appreciate student`s expressions such as drawing, painting, writing or good behavior.
