Cross Species Communications - Monday - 7th Period (Week 4)

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter had a call from Miss Poppins informing him that she was being called away at the last minute (something about getting her uncle off the ceiling? WTF?) and that it was his duty as TA to ensure that today's class went off properly.

As such he stood in front of the class and waited for everyone to be signed in and seated. And because he was just more comfortable this way, there was a setup of tea, biscuits (cookies for you heathens,) and coffee for those who just can't appreciate the finer things.

"Right, then, Miss Poppins won't be here today, but she left instructions for what we're supposed to do.

"We're reviewing Canine and Dolphin today. Pair off with someone. One of you will select Canine, the other Dolphin, and you will speak only in your chosen language. No English.

"Interview your partner in your chosen language and write down both your questions and your partner's answer in English and vice versa. No peeking at each other's sheets.

"Once that's done, Miss Poppins also wants us to translate nursery rhymes into both Canine and Dolphin. When that's complete, turn in your interviews and your nursery rhymes and you're free to go."

[ooc: Apologies for the lateness of this class posting. I wasn't expecting to do this today, but we've got it under control now.]

Jude chuckled. //I'd give up the square box to live in the water and play all day long.//

Willow looked interested. //Really? I don't know if I could. I love my square box.//

//I could.// He still didn't know the Dolphin word for 'totally'. //Material possessions are unnecessary for true happiness.// He lifted one finger in a dispensing-Buddhist-wisdom-type pose.

//True,// Willow allowed. //But - square box!//
