Two Newbee Teacher Seating Patterns

The Circle Jerk

Can be initiated by giving the instruction "I want you all to turn to work with the person to your left"

The Clusterfuck

Takes more advance preparation to create. Each Ss puts a marker (eg, their name tag) in a hat. Then everyone picks one randomly. Now each person works with the partner whose marker they are holding. In rare situations this set up can lead to a Circle Jerk.
