Heroism, Humanism & Hijinks: Literature in Action - Week 15, Period 5 (Final)

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

The class was in the Danger Shop today for their final piece of assessment.

"Good afternoon. Inside you'll find Dickensian London. Namely, the London of A Christmas Carol. Something, however, had gone wrong. Despite being visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future, Ebenezer Scrooge has not discovered the true meaning of Christmas and thus has not gone to Christmas dinner with the Cratchett family. Fix it."

[OOC: Thank you all for a wonderful semester and for hanging on with me while I tested the waters with Lit. You've been a great class. Hope to see you back next semester for a more organised Lit class!]

Or if you need to handwave your guts out, here's the place to do it.

Lana did a marvelous handwavey job!

(Just in case the Mun gets slammed and can't get back here today.]

If there was one thing Jude was good at, it was being mellow. Clearly Scrooge was just totally harshed and needed to find his holiday mellow. Jude only wished that he wasn't hobbling almost as badly as Tiny Tim at the moment.

Jude limped away from a garland-stringing Scrooge with a mellow smile. "Dude, I totally rock."

[[Just as little of an idea as to if I'll get back today.]]

Zack's solution involved creative use of lung fungus.

Don't ask.

After Z told Scrooge a heartbreaking tale about how miserable Christmas could be without a rich benefactor (which she sounded rather knowledgable about) he cracked and headed for the Cratchetts'. "Don't forget the goose!" she called after him.

Hermione hates practical exams like this, but hey, sometimes you can use your frustration to your benefit. Like when she sees Scrooge and launches into a tirade about selfishness and idiocy and finally threatens him with a body-binding spell and the idea of being dragged to the dinner table by a sixteen-year-old girl if it means passing her bloody final.

The twins tackle the exam together, using their own, unique methods to creep Scrooge into submission.

Naomi was able to effectively pass the exam. For someone who had never celebrated Christmas before she did a pretty amazing job in being able to convince another person who had previously hated Christmas into celebrating.
