1.__**LEARNING STATION**__ Number one represents a learning station for the students. If they are done with an activity early, then they can go to this table and pick other fun activities such as, crossword puzzles and word searches. Students can also come to this table after class with any questions they have for me. This table is also for students who need to make up any assignments they have missed. If we are working on a writing project, students can gather here to discuss their topics and ideas.

2. __**TEACHER DESK AREA**__ Number two represents my desk area. I like to have my desk infront of the classroom, so I can see all of my students. I put it to the side because I want the projector and board to be right infront of the students. Behing my desk is a shelf of books and lesson plans. Beside my desk is a coat rack where students can hang their clothing. Students can come to my desk at anytime if they have questions reguarding classwork. Many of the times, I will be up from my desk and interacting with my students.

3.**__ELECTRONIC AREA & DESKS__** Number three is the front of the classroom. Here there is a projector, an easel and a tv. These items are infront of the class because students can see them easly. The projector is there to enlarge images or words I want to show the class. The tv is for films I can show my students that relate to my lessons. The easel is there to represent a black or marker board. The desks are also part of this area. I like individual desks because the students have their own personal space and it is more organized for me. The students will be seated how ever they want, unless I need to make changes. The desk are also facing the front of the room so it is better for me to look at them and for them to learn. Students can also use these electronic tools to present projects or writen work. They can also use my board to draw conclusions and ideas if we are working on a project.

4. __**COMPUTER & EDITING** AREA__ Number four is the computer area. This area if for students to use for class research, papers and computer reading tests. I know in the school system I will teach in, AR testing is very popular, so this is where the majority of these tests will be taken. Though a classroom is limited to a few computers, when we are doing a class activity, the students will go to the computer lab. If students are working on a paper, they can come here and edit. They can also print off their papers in the class. If computers are prohibiting, then we can go to the computer lab and publish our work.

5.__**READING** **AREA**__ Number five is the reading area. This area allows students to read in a comfortable environment. After activities or tests, students can go to the reading area and read. They also can choose from books and magazines on the two books shelves in the back of the classroom. Also, if we are working on a class activity in groups, then students can go to this area to work on it.

6. __**RESOURCE AREA**__ Number 6 represents the shelves and book racks that are full of books and magazines the students can read. Students will be able to check out these from me and take them home. They can also use their extra time to read in the reading area. There will be a numerous variety of young adult literature avaliable for the students to read. If students need help finding a resource for their papers or projects, they can check out dictionaries and sources from me.
