My Country - Week 4 - Friday 3rd period

[konoha-flash.livejournal.com]

Once everyone was seated, Yondaime came into class carrying a gigantic stack of large books. He dropped them down on the desk with a large thud, which caused some of the tomes to spray out large amounts of dust.

“History!” He smiled as he turned to the class. “How did your country come to be? Was it part of a larger country and split off in a revolution? Was it indigenous tribes that banded together? What kind of culture did your ancient people have? What do they all believe? Why did the people decide to make your country their home?” Yondaime paused in his questions and smiled. “History influences the way your country is run, how the people react to things, different countries, religion, government, military, art, music, traditions. The list goes on and on.”

“So today, I want you to come up with a basic history for your country. You can go into as much depth as you want to. You can of course work with your fellow countries to see if your history overlaps or intersects with each other. You don’t have to present anything today, but I will want it included in your midterm where you all present your countries to the class.”

At the end of class, Ronan came up. "Professor?" he said, a bit softly. "May I have a moment?"

"Of course Ronan," Arashi nodded. "What's on your mind?"

"I wanted to apologise for missing class last week," Ronan explained. "I... Uh, it's not really properly an excuse, but my boyfriend broke up with me the day before, and I wasn't exactly at my best. Is there anything you'd like me to do as punishment?"

[AKA I totally failed at remembering to sign in. ^^;; ]

Arashi shook his head with a smile. "That's a reasonable excuse for me. Those sort of things are never easy. We just went over adding geography to your maps and such. As long as you can have that all together by the time we present the countries to the class, you'll be fine."

Ronan smiled in return. "Thank you, Professor. That shouldn't be a problem at all -- I already have some notes on that as it is..." He grinned. "I'm having a lot of fun with this class."

"I'm really happy to hear that," He smiled brightly, and might have looked a little releived. "It's hard to tell sometimes what things are going to work and what's not."
