Journalism Class - Wednesday September 21

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

All the newsfeeds are on this morning, a different talking head on every wall and a few floating in the air around the classroom. Spider, however, appears to be paying attention to none of it, focus instead riveted on the somewhat complicated game he's playing with two small furry dice and the cat as they both sit atop his desk.

He's wearing an enormous, pointed clown hat and a pair of floppy shoes along with the rest of his normal ensemble and doesn't seem to find anything strange about it.

Once there is a decent-sized group of people in the classroom, Spider mutes the screens. Lighting two cigarettes, one for himself and one for the cat, he gets down to business.

"All right class. Today we're going to learn the value of asking the right questions. You can ask me any two questions about myself and then I want you to sum up what you learned into a single, succinct statement that you could use as a tag-line if you needed to refer to me in an article, say, if you quoted me on something. Something like...." He pursed his lips in thought. "'Stay Froody!' was the final exhortation of this extremely far out alien, wanting to encourage you to do well with your studies now that his career as instellar politician is at an end."

He grinned nastily, "You know, the sort of insipid tag line that the newsies use at the end of their interviews to make sure you've been paying attention. So. Two questions, and use them to construct any ending tag line you like that you feel sums me up. Extra-credit, as always, which can be used toward weaseling out of future homework. You may begin at any time."



Edit: ((OOC: My apologies to the students, but I'm too sick to play, atm. I'll try to finish up class after I get home.))

Has anyone seen thepersiannadir? I have yet to see her classes posted for a week now, if not more.

Or, perhaps the mun has simply missed seeing any posts...if so, could someone help the mun out?

Geology

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

*In Geology today, there is a pop quiz encompassing all material covered to date.*

*Once the students are finished with the quiz, they have an experiment regarding the luster of minerals to complete.*

*Ms. Sidle is sitting on her desk, drinking coffee and watching everyone like a hawk.*

Two Announcements, Tacked to the Noticeboard Outside Study Hall

[sonofaparrotman.livejournal.com]

Scooter ambles through the halls of Fandom High, carrying a pair of obviously hand-lettered signs. He's spent the past week practically being eaten by the technical side of the theatre, but now he's ready to step up to the rest of his responsibilities at the school. He stops in front of the already-crowded bulletin board located outside the room used for study hall and surveys its contents, trying to find suitable spots on it to place his notices. Eventually, after engaging in a bit of moving things a little to the left or a tad further up, he manages to post them to his satisfaction. Then he ambles off back the way he came.

The signs read:

IF YOU NEED
TO BORROW
A/V EQUIPMENT
OF ANY SORT
MAKE A REQUEST
AT MY OFFICE

and

WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE CREATION OF


Fandom High's very own
A/V-Theatre Tech Club


Like to play with audio and video equipment? Want to learn how?
Want to work tech for a Fandom High student theatre production?
Just like to mess around with cordless drills and paint?

Then sign up below!

Study Hall -- Wednesday, September 21st

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the study hall for Wednesday. This will be my last study hall for the week, since my mun's access to the internet is now severely limited my son and I are going on a corporate terrorism crusade weekend vacation in which we will blow some shit up go to a petting zoo, shoot a few police officers buy a bunch of ice cream cones, and maybe stop a nuclear holocaust, you SICK SELFISH IGNORANT FUCKS listen to bad pop music while giggling like a couple of fucking morons.

Today's announcements:

-- Please behave for Professor Jerusalem while I'm away. He has my permission to do anything short of killing you little bastards, so keep that in mind before you do anything stupid.

-- ... well, that's about it, really.

*goes back to her office to pack*

(OOC: Just in case I don't get to do anything tomorrow due to my lack of internet access ... *waves* Adios! Bon voyage! Don't forget to write!

... oh, wait, that's Bugs Bunny's line. Anyway, Principal Connor will be expecting a full report of the goings-on when she gets back from her sweet, wonderful, completely innocent family outing. Heh. :))

Language classes, Wednesday

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

All language classes:

Instead of a written quiz, I think you are ready for oral. I want you all to chose a partner or two and carry on a conversation with the vocabulary you've learned to far. You may use one language if you wish, or all that we've studied so far in your classes.

I will be grading you on accuracy, pronounciation, and how you explain yourself in anything but English should you hit a snag in your vocabulary so far.

Don't forget to sign up for a presentation. If you have not by the end of school Friday, I will assume you don't intend to.

Don't forget there is lab today and I am also available during my office hours should you have a particular question.


[ooc: talk amongst yourselves. show your forgeign language skills however you like. inaccuracy is expected, as most of you beginners. and it's more fun that way!]

Martial Arts (Class 2)

[bridekiddo.livejournal.com]

Beatrix walks into the room, which is lined with mats and other essential things.

"Alright, last class we picked partners and got to know each other, this class, with your partners I want to see what martial arts you know yourself. This will give me an idea of where to start you all."

Introduction to World History to 1600 (Terran)
Wednesday 1:00-3:00 pm

Into the classroom, Seimei glides effortlessly, posting his scroll for the class discussion. Stepping back, he moves to the corner of the room to monitor the conversations with an idle smile.

Discuss the positive impacts emperor Augustus had on Rome during his reign.

Wednesday's Anthro Classes

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

[OOC: I adjusted the roster so if your name appears and shouldn't, tell me. Also, if your name doesn't appear and should be on one or more list, also tell me. I'll shift things accordingly.]

Introduction to Anthropology:

Attn: prue_h and studentwillow:
( People who missed Class )

( Missing Homework )

Your family homeworks were...interesting. I have to say, you are cetainly an interesting bunch to teach. Well, today we're talking about something that's similar to family...sex. You see, sex leads to family, so it seems kind of fitting.

Every society has some different view of sexual relations. Some people find their sexual partner without looking for love, other look for love first, then sex. So, today we're going to look at an article that has to deal with the different views of sex.

Homework: Similar to the family assignment. I would like at least one paragraph describing your outlook on sexual relations and the view as seen through the eyes of your people where you come from. In other words, what do you think of sex and what does everyone else think of it?

Egyptian Archaeology:

( Missing Homework )

*hands back the quizzes* Due to popular demand, I've had Vala people complain that the slides were boring. So today we are focusing on grave goods. Because they are shiny and fun to look at

*turns off lights and starts slide show*

Homework: Answer this question: If you were living in this time period of Ancient Egypt, what sorts of things would you want to be included in your tomb?

Late Wednesday afternoon

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Email to Donna composed and sent. Small talk with fellow teachers made. All the papers that were completely forgotten Monday night are now read and marked. But, having missed the Doctor on campus...yet again...a latte is required.

Her heels tap a rhythm as she strides down the hallway to the exit. With very little sunlight coming thanks to the angle of the sun, her imagination starts to run wild, and every shadow makes her jump a little. Her footsteps quicken.




((ooc: Here's a chance, Angelus...or, she could just be twitchy ;)

OOC: Thank you for being patient with the player's lack of time and being caught up in other plots. We should be having class once or twice a week from now on.

Celtic Literature and Civilisation (CELT 110) Lesson Two

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

Feasgar math, class. Since it appears that most of you have little to no previous knowledge of the Celts - or a working knowledge of the stereotype of the Noble Savage constructed from Roman accounts - this is most fortunate, as little unlearning will occur.

( On with today's lesson. )

Your homework for tonight is to identify two classical works concerning the Celts. I will be in my office later to speak to students.

[[OOC: Cammie-mun appears to have caught Fandomhitis, and is feeling not so mhath. She'll be on off and on for the evening. *crawls into bed with her teddy*]]

Quantum Physics 123: Wednesday 21 September

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor comes in with a sheaf of papers. His hair is a bit mussed and he looks a touch wild-eyed. He paces throughout this lecture.]

After last class, I thought it might be worthwhile to attempt to understand, for the love of god review just exactly what the basic concept of quantum physics is: the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. You don't need to know the name, just what it states.
This short essay should help you.

It breaks down to this: We cannot know on the most finite level exactly where any object is. Since everything is moving on an atomic level (thereby having momentum), one can never really determine either the object's location or what direction it is moving in.

[stops pacing]
So we can't ever know in general terms where anything is. Before this leads you to drink, remember that we have a general idea, and that serves us in daily life--it's what our brains can handle. But the fact that there IS this uncertainty means that travel through time and space is possible--if you have the adequate technology.

For Monday, I'd like you to synopsise this concept in your own words. so that I can spend the weekend with CJ In that class we'll start working on practical applications of this theory.

((A big thanks to CJ's player for directing me to some resources this evening.))

A/V - Theatre Tech Club Meeting (Fandom High Auditorium) 5-7 pm

[sonofaparrotman.livejournal.com]

Scooter promised food, so there's food - courtesy of the school's new chef: chicken and rolls and mashed potatoes, as well as a tossed salad - and some brownies he got from a bakery in town. Really, there's probably too much food, but Scooter is trying to channel Kermit's eternal optomism so he pushes that thought aside in favor of fiddling a bit more with the buffet he has set up on the edge of the stage. He wants this meeting to go well, wants it to not show that he spent seven years in retirement and hasn't done much in the way of backstage work in almost twice that long. He hopes the students will notice the signs he put up pointing the way to the meeting, hopes they'll come even just for the food, but stay to build sets and hang lights and do sound design with him. None of that's happened though, yet, so for the moment he sits on the edge of the stage and waits.

Class 4: Magic

[jareth-the-king.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Just so you know, if you're showing up and attempting the assignments, you're passing, no matter how bitchy Jareth gets about it. Sorry this is so late. I had crazy RL stuff to deal with. Also, if you haven't noticed by now, Jareth likes getting people's names wrong, on purpose.]
