Shop Class: [1/9]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

As the students enter into the Danger Room Shop, they'll see that it has been transformed into a scrapyard, filled with various mechanical machines, scrap metal etc.

A section of the Junkyard has been put aside for the typical tools you would find in a metal/wood shop.

"Morning Kids. Before we do anything else, we will go over The Rules of the Danger Shop."

After the rules have been gone over, Mac then does Roll Call to make sure everyone is there. Then Mac walks everyone through the safety percautions and techniques to use any of the shop tools.

When that is complete, Mac rolls out a cart that has ground coffee and various types of coffee filters.

Speech Comm

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Welcome back to school, gang. For those who don't know me, I am CJ Cregg. Before I came here, I was the Press Secretary for the White House...and if you aren't from here and you want to know what that is, come to my office tomorrow.

Ok, next. I got in a car wreck before Christmas. If I don't know you and I should, remind me. If I don't know you and you think you'd be better off if you stayed forgotten and got a chance at a fresh start, by all means...go for it.

On my desk here...this is Fred and Ginger. Under no circumstances will anyone break the bowl and try to stab me this term. Enough on that.

Ok, first day, lets play get to know the corps/ Stand up, introduce yourself. Tell me something interesting about you and why in the world you signed up for me.

Ok, gang. Go.

Classics 201, 1st class

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream stands before the class, his head held high, dressed in his formal robes. He speaks in a clear, strong voice.

"Hello, and welcome to your first class of the semester. I hope it will be enjoyable for all of you.

Start by reviewing the classroom rules. I would like each of you to sign them at the bottom and turn them in to me. This will serve as our contract for the semester.

Most of you studied with me last term; welcome back. The new student, John Connor, is to be my assistant. Treat him with the respect this role deserves.

Our lecture today will be an overview to refresh your minds about ancient Greek, which was the last tongue we studied last semester. We will spend the rest of the month working on Greek translations and readings.

As always, I will be in my office after class. Creature languages immediately follows this class, but I will be there for the rest of the day."

The administrative business taken care of, Dream delivers his lecture.

Creature Languages, 1/09

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

As the last Classics students filter out, Dream waits for most of the Creature Languages students to have taken their seats before he begins to speak again.

"Hello, and welcome to class. I hope this will be an enlightening experience for all of you. It is based on a premise that many of you may be ignorant of; all beings have a language. While humans may not be physically equipped to speak or understand them in the wild, so to speak, studying those tongues allows greater communication throughout the environment. This is especially true when it comes to animals that are feared by humans, such as snakes or spiders, and for that reason I plan to concentrate on those languages.

Before class starts, please review the class rules. I would like each of you to sign them at the bottom and turn them in to me. This will serve as our contract for the semester.

After that is done, I would like for each of you to stand and tell the class a little about yourself, including any languages you have studied before, either creature or human-based, and any particular goals for this class. In addition, I am in my office after class for any questions or concerns."

US History (Monday, January 9, 7th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh put down his copy of the Washington Post when students began arriving.

"Welcome to US history. I'm Josh Lyman and up until a few weeks ago I was the deputy chief of staff for President Josiah Bartlet. You may all be suitably impressed now." He looked around the room. "Good."

( Read more... )

He smiled and pointed at the board, where he had scrawled a quote. Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. "George Santayana wasn't talking about summer school. After you've signed in, please introduce yourself to the class and tell us what you think he meant."

Library, 1/09

[chasingangela]

Angela isn't sure whether she's more frightened by the fact this is her first time opening the library, by the new students, or by the Librarian.

Her stomach is a mass of butterflies as she turns on the lights and takes a place behind the checkout desk, braced for the onslaught.

[OOC Note: You do need a card to use the library. Might as well take care of it today. OCD threads are here.]

Paleontology, Jan 9th (7th period)

[dr-tommy.livejournal.com]

Tommy looks around as the students begin to file in to the classroom, and puts his smart doctor glasses back on as he stands up from his desk.

"Can everyone sign in to the attendance sheet there?" he asks. "Good." He smiles at them. "Now, to start things off... I'm Dr. Oliver. And I suppose you can call me Dr. O if you'd rather do that," he smiles.

School Announcements, 1/09/06

[agent-principal.livejournal.com]

Smith begins the daily announcements for the day OMG late, because the mun accidently slept in

"Welcome, my friends, to the show that begins again. As sands through the hour glass, these are the days of your academic lives. Some points to direct you all to.

One, the Main Office is open to deal with you residential, enrollment, and other paperwork needs. However, one would request that you do not harass Mister Waddams with banter, so if you need to actually discuss a matter, please approach an appropriate administrator. If you are unsure who would be that appropriate administrator, please feel free to contact me directly.

Two, Doctor House has expressed an interest in receivign blood samples from the student body and our faculty. He especially wishes to recieve samples from those who may have varying biological differences from what one could consider the biological human norm. This is done so that Doctor House may have a base sample to compare blood work against, in case of medical emergency. If you are unwilling to give up such a sample, but are of a different biological make-up, I would highly recommend at least discussing those differences with the medical personnel, so they may be away of any particulars in case something tragic happens to your health.

Three, Those who would like more... personable contact with myself will find that I will be joining those dining in the Cafeteria at the designated lunch hour. Bon Appetite?

And Finally Four, for your own safety, please refrain from approaching Locker 327. It is a noted school hazard and should be avoided at all costs.

Thank you for your attention. Please enjoy your first fresh day of learning."

[ooc: Note for #4. Locker 327 is now a -controlled- NPC. It falls under the jurisdiction of our mod fh_anonymous. Please contact her for all your Locker 327 hopes and dreams, that she might possibly be able to make into shiny realities. ...Well, as much of a reality as anything else that goes on here.]

School Announcements, Round Two. 1/09/06

[agent-principal.livejournal.com]

Some time shortly after lunch, the P.A. crackle to life again.

"A few notes missed in the earlier announcements.

One, There will be a new student council election next Monday. There will be a simple write-in ballot system, each student voting for three representative for their own class. No official tickets. Get your name out and known and you'll serve a much better chance at being elected.

Two, I would request that the following report to my office sometime today or tommorow: Miiiiiister Anakin, Mister Logan and Miss M. Parker

Three, As indicated by point two, official school records should only regard Miss Parker's first initial and not any full first name that may have been entered due to gremlins in our systems. Teachers, please reflect this in your official class rosters.

That is all."

Tactics of War [Monday, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.]

[replicarter.livejournal.com]

Eighth walks into her classroom, followed by a handful of her brethren who quickly form up to write "Dr. Samantha Carter – Tactics of War" on the chalkboard. She sits demurely at her desk as her students file in and she stands when the bell rings.

Sociology Courses | January 9, 2006

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Sociology of Violence: 2nd Period

Welcome to class, everyone. My name is Dr. Grissom, although feel free to drop the title. With that lack of formality in mind, let's jump right in. First, please consult the roster and take a syllabus.

( OOC Cut of Basic Course Outline )

"Due to the often upsetting nature of this course, I would like to spend this first class having you introduce yourselves, and share, if not why you are taking this course or your history with the subject matter, what you hope to learn here. Also, if there are any subjects that might be difficult for you, please feel free to stop by after class and let me know.

Homework: Find a working definition of violence that you feel is accurate.

Sociology of the Paranormal: 6th Period

Welcome to class. I'm Grissom, and it's getting late and I need a snack and I'm cranky. Consult the roster and take a syllabus, then take a seat.

( OOC Cut of Basic Course Outline )

"First of all, I want to thank you all for enrolling. Considering the subject of this course, and all of our different, and shared, experiences with the paranormal, I first want to stress that I expect everyone to keep an open mind, and be respectful of your fellow students.

That being said, I'd like to have you all introduce yourselves, and if you have any specific topics you'd like to have covered in this class, I'd like to hear your input. This class will have two parts: One in which we study the paranormal and build a working vocabulary, and the second half of the semester in which we evaluate how these events affect institutions.

You will not be graded today, but I would like to encourage discussion with your fellow classmates, as you will be working together closely for the next several months."

Homework: Read this snazzy outline of How to Think About Weird Things for Wednesday.

Both Classes: "If you need to Add/Drop a Sociology course, or would like to apply for a TA position, those forms can be found outside my office. Please fill them out, and then submit them in the proper place. Thank you.

Celtic Studies (09/01)

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

Returning students to the Celtic Studies classroom will find that it hadn't changed over the break. Newcomers will find a smallish classroom with a few rows of individual desks, perfectly spaced for teacher-pacing and test-taking intimidation. A large blackboard is at the front of the room, newly washed. The walls are hung with various posters, almost all in Gaelic, and a large map of the British Isles, also in Gaelic. A rather battered metal filing cabinet is at the front in one corner, and a large teacher's desk is between the blackboard and the students. The final addition is a large stuffed moose hanging over the blackboard, looking innocuous.

Camulus waits for the class to fill up before leaning against the desk, his arms folded. No tittering at the kilt. This is a manly kilt. The kind of kilt that's really just ten yards of wool, making it the most efficient item of clothing because it can be a sleeping bag, tent, or roof. Besides, one would never titter in the face of your god.

"I am Camulus," he announces, his voice hollow and echoey. He may or may not be laying it on a bit thick for his new students. "You have chosen to study my once-great empire, now reduced to military pipes, bright plaids, and souvenier trinkets. The Celtic civilisation once stretched from the Middle East to the British Isles. Celts sacked Greece and Rome, brought art and culture and ironworking to most of Europe. But, more impressively, the Celts survived. The Gaelteacht (Gale-tech) now comprises only Scotland, Ireland, and a small part of North America - Cape Breton in Alba Nuadh (Alabah Nu-ag). Nova Scotia.

"In this class, you will learn not only the literature and legends of the Celts, but the basics of what is called Q-Gaelic, Celtic culture, a small bit of history, and even, if we have time, modern cooking, music, and pop culture. We have quite a bit to cover. We will be starting with family." He stands and moves to the blackboard, writing out the assignment as he continues to talk. "Family may sound like a topic for a fluff course, career studies or some such. But family is the concept that you must grasp before you can understand the Celts. For tomorrow, I want you all to write as much as you can about your family. How many cousins you have, how your parents met, how often your family gets together, your family traditions. In this definition of family I include your adopted family. Any group that raised you. That will provide the basis for our next class on Wednesday." He finishes writing and turns back around, absently dusting off his hands.

"For now I will force you all to speak in front of your peers. Stand up. Name, something small about yourself, why you chose this class. Oh, and Phoebe, I'd like to speak with you for a moment after class."

[[And now for some OOC OCD. Every class will either be posted around this time (5-7pm EST) or much earlier (10-12 EST) because I somehow drew the lucky straw of having all my classes fall between those times so I get to sleep in a lot. Yay me.

In every lesson, Cammie will be spewing Gaidhlig names and words left, right, and centre. I'll give the correct spelling and then the phoenetic in brackets for the sake of the muns. If it's something that requires research, I will also provide alternate spellings.

And finally, the majority of this is off the top of my very well-read head. Please don't take it as law. There are different versions, spellings, customs, ad infinitum. Alright, that's it, we'll have some fun this semester!]]

Anthropology 101, 6th Period

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel smiles at his small class. "Welcome to Anthropology. I'm Dr. Jackson.

Today, I just wanted to talk to you about what this class is going to entail, and also, have you introduce yourselves and discuss why you took this class.

The first thing is that I will be expecting interaction. As there's only four of you, that means you might have to do more work... so you could try and persuade your friends to add this," he grins.

"We'll start by looking at what is anthropology, and what it's subdisciples are this week. Next week, we'll be starting with physical, or, as it is sometimes called, biological anthropology. Next lesson, I'll have a handout for you with a run down of the class syllabus, and a suggestion of books. Oh, and I also need a TA, so if anyone's interested in the job, just come see me after class and we'll talk.

But today, I just want to get to know you. So, I'll start, then we'll go clockwise around the room. Tell me why you've decided to take this class and something else about yourself, and then we'll go around again, and I want you to tell me what you think anthropology is

I'm Daniel Jackson, I'm the teacher and I like coffee. I'm not going to say what I think anthropology is, because I know. As a hint, I'm going to tell you that it comes from the Greek. Let's go, guys."

Multi-Disciplinary Self Defense, 7th Period

Duncan stands at the front of the classroom. He looks much more serious than has been usual for gym class. He seems already stretched out and limber. Large mats have been lain out on the floor. Several punching bags have been added. A trunk in one corner holds padded safety gear, including helmets.

“Okay, first things first. I’ll read off the class roster, and you raise your hand when I say your name. Angel. Vala Mal Doran. James Ford. Susan Ivanova. Jack Harkness. Cameron Mitchell. Han Solo. Susan Sto Helit. Buffy Summers. Kara Thrace .”

After that is done, he stands at the front of the group. “I want you to take a look through the safety gear. Pick helmets and padding, both for close fighting and fencing. Also, a glove for you to trade off taking punches. Make sure these things fit. If they don’t, I’ll see about ordering new ones once we have you measured. Everybody needs these. I don’t care how good you are, make sure you have fitting ones.” He waits for everyone to choose their gear.

“These go in a locker. Within reasonable limits, I want you to care for your gear. If you need repairs, though, talk to me.”

"Attendance is required. You can't learn if you aren't here *regularly*. If you aren't going to be here, don't waste my time and yours. Detention will be assessed for every unexcused absence."

“For this class, we go a unit at a time, starting with hand to hand. We’ll do a bit of fencing later in the semester, and knife fighting, provided people are interested, with practice weapons.”

“First part of the class goes over technique. Second part is open sparring. If you like, you can stay on late for the second part to go longer. The TA position is still open. If you are interested, talk to me after class. I’ll select one or two TAs depending on the skill levels of those applying.”

“Start off with stretching and warming up. If you have your own routine for that, I want to see it. If you don’t, raise a hand.”


OOC: Please note that I have a stiff schedule, and I understand that you might also. I leave posts open for at least two days for attendance.
