There was not any special feature needed.
Regular classroom, White board, Smart Board, books, shelves for each periods class work, and computers.
The only thing that affected my lesson was that my teacher spoke up quite often when I was recording and
teaching my lesson. However, I think he was just trying to help me, but it seemed like he kept talking.

I used very limited resources. I used pencil and paper for both of my activities. The reason why I chose this style of teaching is
because majority of the classroom time all of the students have to use a computer to complete all of their work. I feel most of them do
not complete the task they are supposed and often get burnt out on the computer. I wanted each student to be engaged.

Students Activities
For the start of my class, I had my students get out a sheet
of paper and write what the word reputation means to them.
I wanted to get their minds acclimated to the classroom.
I made sure I related the topic to something they all liked.
I made sure I stressed that they could do anything they
wanted to in life. I made sure the students understood that
even if they had made bad choices they could start today
and make better choices and start making people remember
them for the good they do.
Next I had them wad the paper up in a snow ball and put it
in a basket. Then I had them grab a different snow ball and
add to what their classmates had written. It had to be
different than what their classmates put. We did this activity
twice. Then I took the basket up and asked them if one of
them could raise their hand and tell me what the word
reputation means. Several responded. After the class
interacted, I read what the meaning of reputation means. I
then used an example of the word reputation with Krispy
cream doughnuts. I immediately intrigued the students
because they all stated they loved doughnuts. After that
relation of reputation I related it to Hester Prynne reputation
