Health, Period 3, 10/13
As the students enter the classroom, Elliot tosses a weird-shaped plush .... thing at each one.
"Hi. I just gave you guys syphilis, the flu and mad cow disease, and some other stuff" she said gleefully. "Hope you don't mind. Take them home, introduce them to your other roommates, freak people out with them, whatever. But you're getting them today because they fit in with what we're going to talk about, which is bacteria and viruses -- or what you guys might call germs."
She went on to give what was no doubt a completely fascinating lecture about the differences between bacteria and viruses, how they were spread, and the diseases they could cause, and then gestured to two glittery markers set on a table in the front of the class.
"I want you to pass the marker around and take turns writing something on the posterboard. Touch the marker and the paper as you usually would. Watch where the glitter gets on your body and now it gets there, and think about how germs might be similar. I guarantee, you'll never want to touch anything again without rubber gloves and anti-bacterial soap. Which is kind of a bad thing, because it's helping make giant superstrong bacterium that will probably take over the world and cause a plague and kill everyone. So, um, just wash your hands with regular soap, okay?"
She held out the marker to the first student, holding it by the less glittery end. "Go to it."

Re: Class Stuff, Health, 10/13
Meanwhile, we'll just leave it at the fact that the whole thing with the glitter was a fiasco. In the best sense of the word. She'd get glitter on her hands, forget that it was supposed to happen and try to wipe it on her skirt, and then realizing she had glitter on her skirt, try to wipe it off, miss, get it on her knees, start flailing a bit because she was getting glitter all over herself, which only caused more glitter to get everywhere and...and...
"How can there even be this much glitter on this thing?"
