Keeping Your Wits About You... [Monday 2nd Period 10-11] Class # 4
It was Fall and Wilson was celebrating by having a Caramel Apple Pie at the front of the classroom along with the morning's coffee and tea offerings.
He was also leaning against the desk, sipping his own morning coffee and looking highly amused about something. Probably best not to ask what he was amused about, the students would find out soon enough.
As soon as everybody was seated, Wilson slid off the desk and began to pace the front of the room.
"Today we are going to talk about a trap so insideous and dangerous that it is feared and spoken about in all cultures around the world. There are books about these traps, urban legends and it is something most parents carefully take their children aside to discuss at least once in their lives."
Sipping at his coffee, he came back to his desk and continued to try to maintain a straight face.
"I am of course, talking about ... The Bad Date."
Dramatic pause please!
Lecture:
Grinning, he set aside the coffee and walked towards the overhead projector.
"Before you all groan and decide that I've lost my mind -which we all know I have- this is practical to the class. Escaping a blind date involves some quick planning as well as forward thinking as you have to map out steps to get yourself out of the situation in a way that will hopefully be a clean break. After all, nothing is more awkward than running into someone when you skipped out on them before the main course was served."
Flipping on the projector, Wilson began his lecture for the day detailing out the various scenarios and their pros and cons as he talked.
Class Activity:
After everyone had hopefully taken plenty of notes, he shut down the projector and walked to the black board.
"Okay so today's exercise is probably fairly obvious. I'm going to pair you off and you're each going to take a turn and 'escape' the other's bad date. However, this is Fandom, a fairly small island and so we're going to put our own twist on things. I want you guys to take one of the scenarios we discussed in lecture and adjust it for a Fandom specific excuse, keeping in mind that this is a small community and you need your escape path to be as neat and clean as possible for any future interactions with the 'bad date' you are ditching. Everybody clear on that? Excellent, let's get started."
