What is a wall? What is a wall in an educational context? How is a wall used? Why in this way? Why add another layer and stick paper on a wall? What is it about this ordering? Is it purely aesthetic an exercise in itself? Who is it for and what is it showing? Does it conform to the expectations of putting things on a wall why not on a ceiling (if there is a ceiling), or floor. Learning whilst lying down. Does this change the context, expectations. |
