Good Omens...And Bad: Prophecy in Theory and Practice, Class Six
Monday, October 9, First Period
Since it would be the first sign of the apocalypse if there wasn't a table laden with breakfast pastries and tea...there is indeed a table laden with breakfast pastries and tea. There is also a pile of review handouts for the students to pick up on their way in.
"Good morning everyone. I hope you all had an enjoyable time at the Homecoming festivities. Before we begin, I'd like to remind Miss Halliwell to please turn in your take-home test from the Lab." He smiled at Phoebe.
"Today we're going to have a review of the material we've covered in the first five weeks of class, followed by a test on that material. Your handouts should help you in reviewing, and this is the time to ask any questions you might have."
REVIEW:
Review of Class One: Definitions, categories of divination, prophecy in daily life
Review of Class Two: major historical figures
Review of Class Three: prophecy in legend and folklore
Review of Class Four: interpreting prophecy
Review of Class Five: dream symbolism
TEST:Test can be found in the OCD threads, handwavey or real answers as you like.
HOMEWORK:
"Your homework assignment is to consider how you would react to the following scenario: You have an acquaintance who is the subject of a personal prophecy. They are aware of this prophecy, and are unhappy with the predicted outcome. What sort of advice would you offer them, and how would you support them in their decision to either accept or reject their role in the prophecy? This assignment is only for personal contemplation, you are not required to submit any sort of written answers."

Re: Test!
2. A legendary figure who gave prophecies in the sacred precinct of Apollo at Delphi.
3. The Bible.
4. Being chased, Sex, Naked in front of the entire school, Sex and Sex in front of the entire school naked.
SHORT ESSAY
5. Start with an understanding of the primary purposes of prophecy: A method of sharing information. that serves to inform, convince and motivate the recipients.
Emphasis on prophecy must be properly directed: Misinterpreted and misused prophecies can cause more harm than never having had the information at all.
Understand what the words mean: Interpretation is a bitch.
6. Whack Job. Sure he got some things right but really isn't he a figure that's just been popularized by the media? Honestly I'm thinking he's just a hoax.
7. Sure. Nothing like knowing you're going to either save or doom a bunch of people. Otherwise what's the point of a prophecy.
