What We Admired:

 * Ex.: Student snapping ruler
 * Reading assignment: teacher increased value of assignment by allowing students to read book of their choice
 * Strong teacher-student relationships
 * Treated each student like his favorite student which removed need for discipline

 * Creative way to label "typical" assignment
