The left side?</p> <p>Put your hands on the middle of your desk on the side farthest from you. That part is the back of your desk.</p> <p>Think which is the front of your desk. Put your hands on the front of your desk.</p> <p>Who sits on your right hand? On your left? At the desk in front of you? At the desk behind you?</p> <p>Turn round. Who is on your right now? On your left? Before you? Behind you?</p> <p>Turn again. Who is now on your right? On your left? Before you? Behind you?</p> <p><b>NOTE.--</b>Lead children to see that the terms <i>right, left, front</i>, and <i>back</i> are of little use in telling the position of places, and that some fixed standard of direction is necessary.</p> </div> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
