201--Trust Me
Good morning gang. Ok, we're working with a theme of trust this week. Last week was influence and persuasion, so this week I'd like you to prep a speech in which you persuade me to trust you. What do you feel trust is all about? Why should I, the biggest chicken on the teaching staff, trust you? In what ways will you persuade me? Keep in mind the appeals to your character, utilizing specific evidence, and appealing to my emotions. Start brainstorming, you can feel free to ask me questions. This will be helpful for those of you involved in these elections we've got going on...politics is all about presenting the information and getting people on your side. You'll present this Thursday, keep it short. 3-5 minutes. Ok, go.

301--Trust Games
*All the desks have been pushed to the back of the class in a heap. There will be no sitting today.*
Morning, guys. OK, first. Someone may have had a reaction to the drinks from yesterday. I just wanted to make it absolutely clear that I didn't do anything that would harm you. If you felt anything, it was just a little lidocaine. These are trust games. Keep that in mind.
Now, yesterday I saw some intereting things. Some of you have real trust issues...and I don't just mean those who refused to drink. Sydney and Chiana probably have very good reasons behind their behavior. However, others in this class, I'm amazed at how readily you trusted me...I understand your situation, really. I'm up here, I have the political power in this classroom. You ought to be able to trust me to keep you safe, and, in theory, teach you something. However, what if I am intentionally misleading you? I clearly wrote on the board NOT to drink what was in the cups before you ever got here. Why did my words convince you otherwise? Hmm...
Ok, moving on.
So yesterday we saw your level of trust regarding me. Today we're going to work on your trust with one another.
Personal space varies from culture to culture. Part of this is how a person is taught to value their body, and part has to do with the environment in which a person was raised. However, all cultures, when faced with a stranger, tend to be wary and will only let people get so close to them. So here's our game for the day. I want you to pair up with someone...anyone. I want you to stand, facing each other, 1 meter apart. You will take turns disclosing personal details...not deeply personal please. Your pet's name, your shoe size...I don't really care, I just don't want this to get more uncomfortable than it will.
Ok, with each disclosure take a step forward. IF you get to physical contact, I want you to hold that for as long as possible. When you become uncomfortable, please feel free to take a step back.
If anyone winds up without a partner, you can use me. *Blinks* I mean I'll be your partner.
Ok, go.

Guess it's a good thing I didn't have that garlic and onion sandwich this morning like I planned huh?"
no subject
She wonders why anyone would want to eat a garlic and onion sandwich ever, much less in the morning.

After all, wasn't this just a game? Now she's kissing him and getting all these goofy feelings.....good goofy feelings
And doesn't he have acrazygirlfriend?"So, did we win?" She asks, smiling.
no subject
Crazy girlfriend get's the random sex thing and even did with Angelus sometime recently."I'm not sure this is that type of game." Jack responds.
no subject
She stands there looking at him awkwardly, not knowing what to say, but not sure she wants either of them to leave.
"I feel our game was productive," she says lamely, still managing to keep the pep in her voice.
no subject
Jack is very confused now. On the one hand it isn't incredibly horrible being this close to Anya, on the other hand they're standing in the middle of a classroom technically doing schoolwork.
"Productive. Yeah. I guess you could say that." Jack responds warily.
no subject
"I guess we could just leave and see if anyone tries to stop us," she suggests, although she doesn't want her time with Jack to be over. "Maybe we could go somewhere else and talk some more?"
no subject
"We could talk. Talking's...good. I guess. Anywhere in particular?"
no subject
"It's just one of those things I hear people say when they don't want to leave the company of the person they are with, but they don't want to remain where they are.
Where people could report back to psycho girlfriend,"she says matter-of-factly.no subject
