Superheroing- Tuesday, March 13- 2nd period

[captainliberty]

"Welcome back. You all look non-wombatty today," says Captain Liberty when the students have all taken their seats. "If you'd pass up your homework, we can get started. Now, today we're going to talk about the absolute fun that is dealing with the bad guys. Seriously, less fun than you'd expect sometimes.

"We have your ordinary bad guys, the ones who rob banks and steal purses. They are often more easily taken care of by superhero types. Most often apprehended with little to no violence, they spend some time- usually around three to five- and get out only to do it again. The repeat offenders get kind of tiresome," she says, waving a hand dismissively.

"Then we have your supercriminal. He is costumed, because the fact is, he's got a secret identity, too. I'm not really sure why. Your average villain doesn't seem like enough of a people person to have a personal life, but whatever," Captain Liberty says. "He might also be covering for a physical deformity or quirk that's made him who he is today. This would be the guy who decides to do things on a broader, less petty scale. Usually. He usually has minions who do his dirty work for him, helping him get away with plans such as, I don't know, unleashing terror gas on a city. They usually have the same purpose as the regular ol' criminal, only with a much longer and more involved backstory that led him down this road, which is usually a load of crap anyway and it's just an excuse to be an ass. Either way, he can still be defeated.

"What you're going to do today is get into groups of four. Each group will have one supervillain scenario, and you'll discuss what the most likely course of action would be in defeating them. In theory, you'd be going at this alone, so consider everyone else your sounding board. Remember, you're not trying to kill them, just arrest them, but you're more than free to use any powers you have. Pay attention, because next week you'll be in the Danger Shop, back in costume, for practical exercise number two."

Hand in the homework

[captainliberty]

A couple paragraphs on how you thought the interview with Rita went, and how you would handle it next time. Feel free to handwave, but I giggled really hard last week at you guys, so I'm kind of interested in the assignment. *g*

Bridge turns in a paper that discusses how Rita's memory seems to be going, and next time he'd make sure the reporter interviewing him *didn't* have any long-term memory problems.

Peter handed in a couple of paragraphs on how he thought he did fairly well, though he wasn't entirely certain if maybe Rita had gotten the wrong idea about his sex private life.

Cassie's assignment wasn't exactly the best quality. It more seemed tinged with bitterness towards the media in general.

Teddy's was poorly written and very last minute about how Rita wasn't the nicest person. He would completely blame being sick for that lack of quality.

Layla turned in a few paragraphs on journalistic integrity, and Rita's lack of such a quality.

My interview with Rita Skeeter went really, I think. Just ignore the whole wombat incident. It's a familiar feeling for me by now, the feeling of being an animal. Anyway, Mrs Skeeter's journalism skills aren't the best. She tends to wander off into your own thoughts, not really paying attention to you at all. Therefore, that causes the interview to seem rather bland as Mrs. Skeeter but then fill in details by herself.

Mrs Skeeter doesn't have the best manner of a reporter either. She's often sarcastic and self absorbed and tries to make the interview about herself.

But, she loves me like a son so I still think she's okay.

Peter handed in one sentence:

See tomorrow's paper.

Molly turned in her handwavey homework of her mostly handwavey interview with Rita.
