Speech Comm

A young girl with red hair and a black suit sits cross legged on the table in front of the class. She's eating doughnuts and drinking a coke.

Shop Class: [1/23]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

As the students enter the shop class they'll find that the room has been turned into what appears to be a ghost town.

With multiple versions of Mac's beat up jeep.

"Today kids? We're going to be doing the MacGyver version of car repair."

Biology (2nd Period) / Chemistry (4th Period)

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

"Good morning, everyone. I hope you all had a pleasant weekend. Aside from a nasty run in with a tarantula, I certainly did." It's probably disturbing to have a perky teacher on hand.

Introduction to Western Literature, Lesson Three

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Monday, January 23, 5th and 6th periods

Geoff is sitting behind his desk, holding his head in one hand. He stands to begin the lecture once the class has assembled, but he doesn't look very happy. He looks, in fact, somewhere between depressed and...depressed.

Classics, 1/23, 3rd period

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

"Hello, class. My absence last Wednesday was unavoidable; I trust it has not caused problems for you in your studies.

I had asked for you to read The Odyssey over the weekend; in case your vocabulary was insufficient to the Greek, or your time insufficient to the reading, I am now passing out a synopsis.

Your question for the day is this: Odysseus suffered greatly during his journey homeward. Was the suffering the result of choices he made, or was it unavoidable? How can we determine which is which?

We will conclude this unit with a quiz on Wednesday."

[OOC: Question borrowed from here.]

Professor Chaucer's Office Hours, Monday

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Professor Chaucer is sitting behind his desk, feet kicked up on the edge, staring out the window. He has a pocket watch which he keeps turning over in his hands. He doesn't look to be in a terribly good mood, although he'll probably talk to you if you bother him. The door to the office is closed, so you'll need to knock or be rude and barge in.

Creature Languages, 1/23

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream waits until most of the class has gathered and a small purple dragon has joined him before addressing the class. A plate of chocolate chip cookies sits on his desk; there are enough for students as well as his guest.

"Hello.

As we discussed last week, you will spend today talking with the dragon Lockheed. I trust you have all prepared questions for him in his native tongue.

I will be in my office after class for any questions."

Dream then leans back against his desk, arms crossed, and waits for Lockheed to introduce himself. He can translate if needed.

School Announcements, 1/23/06

[agent-principal.livejournal.com]

Today, the P.A. crackles to life during the sixth period, as to not Joss the security check on CJ because Smith slept in. His presence in this material plane has sadly had him going... native.

"Welcome, my friends, to the show that never ends. However, this is not Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, but your daily announcements. They are late today. If you complain about this, someone will not be getting their apple pie.

One, I suggest caution when going out about town. There is a maniacal water balloon fiend on the loose.

Two, you will find that two of our staff, Professors Cregg and the Doctor, have gone under somewhat of a transformation. Given that some our students have spent time as various bits of wildlife and Mister Barbossa may or may not masquerade as a plant, this should not be too much of a shock. Indeed, they might possibly come with that special minty fresh smell, or perhaps the aroma of a brand new car. Please give them the same respect you would according to their usual shape and stature.

Three, today is the last day to add or drop classes. Please get those slips into the office by the end of the day.

Four, my office shall now only be open to visitors Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Other days, meetings may be scheduled by phone.

Five, Misters Elric and Elric will report to detention this weekend. You know why.

Six, I'd like to announce the formation of the school beautification team. Headed by Mister Cole Turner, his minions include the following: Mister Elric, Mister Elric, Miss Longstocking, Mister Dornez, Mister Borkowski, Mister Bernadette, Mister Anderson, and Mister Kennedy.

That is the full depth of announcements for the day. I hope you all are enjoying your daily dose of academic oppression."

The Library is Open - 01/23

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory sleepily made her way into the library, coffee in hand, and took her seat behind the desk.

Sure, "happy" or "awake" wouldn't be very apt descriptions today. But really, did that matter?

[ooc: Wait for my OCD, yo. And OCD threads are up, yay.]

Sociology Courses | January 23, 2006

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Sociology of Violence: 2nd Period

Grissom is standing at the front of the class, feeding a few tarantulas who are perched on his desk in their terrariums. They've been officially banned from his apartment and office, and will now live in the lab. Poor T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chili spiders.

"Welcome, everyone. After doing all that reading this weekend, you should be familiar now with the material.

So, instead of lecturing you, today we will participate in a project.

Using the full resources of the Humanities wing (the AV/computer lab, Grissom's creepy stuff, the science materials, etc.), I'd like you to design some sort of Anti-Violence message for the campus.

You will not be graded on this, so feel free to be experimental. At the end of class, share describe, link, whatever what you have done with the class.

Sociology of the Paranormal: 6th Period

"Please turn in your homework."

Grissom then lectures on the Sokal Affair as his students probably nod off, and lets them go without assigning any homework.

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

[replicarter.livejournal.com]

Eighth eyes her lecture notes and awaits the rest of her students to enter the class. ( class #3 )

Quantum Physics 225: Monday, Fifth Period

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

A teenage boy, looking vaguely apprehensive in a striped tie, dress shirt, and nice trousers, is sitting on top of the desk in the Doctor's classroom. For some reason, he speaks with authority and a touch of attitude. Every so often he runs his hand through his mop of messy brown hair. And he seems to be pouting, just a little.

It was fortunate Turlough had left some of his clothing behind, or he'd definitely be in jeans and a t-shirt. And that? Would not be cool. It would suck. Though it would be more comfortable...
He fiddles with his tie.

"Okay. So. Discussion last week was good, especially Crichton, Sam." His voice cracks on the A in Sam and he winces. "Crap. Anyway. Today, each of you are going to talk--to me and to the class--about your selected Influential Persons. What did they do to be so great? I want to know. Even if I already know, which I probably do, but whatever.

"Assignment for Wednesday is to think about, say, two events in each of your two people's lives that could have been subtly changed--and what effects that would have on the future. Extrapolate, but don't be stupid about it or exaggerate, or whatever. Cool? Cool. Sweet. Go on, then."

He looks like he isn't exactly certain where 'cool' came from, or 'sweet', then mutters something that may sound like 'bloody CJ'. And then he pauses.

"Oh, yeah, and if you don't listen to the radio...yes, I'm the bloody Doctor. The usual rules in this class apply, and if you act like jerks, I will totally drag you by the ear to Smith's office."

Office Hours

If you need help with class or would simply like to procrastinate, Ms. Sidle has the door open.

She'll share the cookies.

US History (Monday, January 23, 7th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh was looking a little cranky today. Could have something to do with the announcements Principal Smith had made about a certain old colleague of his.

"Okay, last week we talked about Massachusetts and Virginia. Today, we're going to blow through all of the history that happened before the Revolutionary war. That's right. 150 years of history in an hour. Prepare to take notes."

Josh then gave a very terse rundown of life in colonial America, lacking much of his normal snarky humor.

He looked up. "Okay, you now have thirteen colonies to choose from--where would you live now? Bonus points if you say Connecticut or New Hampshire, but only if you can back it up with reasons other than 'because the teacher told me I'd get bonus points.'"

He sat down at his desk. "Homework for the day is to give me at least a hundred words from Wiki about the French and Indian War. That war'll be very important as we talk about the Revolution, so be sure to look for any names that seem familiar." He raised an eyebrow. "A hint for you out-of-towners: Washington DC was named for the Washington who first shows up in the French and Indian War."

Paleontology, Jan 23rd (7th period)

[dr-tommy.livejournal.com]

"So, so far we’ve talked about what fossils are, how they’re made, and the geologic time scale. This week is gonna be last one before we start moving on to stuff that’s a little more, well, hands on. Today, we’re going to talk about mass extinctions. An extinction event- sometimes called an Extinction Level Event, or ELE for short- occurs when a large number of species die out in a relatively short period of time." Tommy then proceeds to give a ( not very exciting lecture. )

Psychology 101 (Monday, 01/23/2006, 3rd Period)

[romanywitch]

Jenny waits for everyone to gather, then begins her lecture.

( Today? Biological psych. )

Check out this handout, complete with a nice and squishy picture of the human brain, and then we'll start talking about it. And yes, zombies do eat brains.

Celtic Studies (01/23)

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

[[My friendly reminder to my fellow Canadian muns - VOTE! I will be distracty for the rest of the evening as I'm watching the election.]]

"Madainn mhath. Sorry about my absence on Friday. Your conversation should follow the pattern of the handout which will be uploaded when the mun's printer decides that it doesn't want to sleep with the fish, but, of course, sustitute the correct names, places, and genders. Pair yourselves up. As there are five students, Phoebe, I'll be giving you another assignment.

Now, on to today's lesson, which would have been Friday's lesson, so we're still learning a bit of Gaidhlig. Please take out your handouts so you have the vocab in front of you. We'll start with sentence structure. English has a subject-verb-object structure, but Gaidhlig takes the verb-subject-object structure. For example, the sentence 'I am happy' would be 'tha mi sona'. The negative statement would be 'chan eil mi sona' - 'I am not happy'.

The question would be, 'A bheil thu sona?' - 'Are you happy?' A peculiarity of Gaidhlig is that it has no word for 'yes' or 'no'. Questions are answered using the positive or negative form of the verb. In this case, 'tha' or 'chan eil' would be the answer. Literally, 'am' or 'am not'."

Camulus continues building simple sentences and picking on students by asking them questions and requiring an answer in Gaidhlig.

Jung, Etc. (Monday, 01/23/2006, 4th Period)

[romanywitch]

Today, guys? Easy class. Take this online Myers-Briggs Personality Indicator or copy/paste what you think your IC result would be from this result list and gimme your results. We'll talk about them later in the week.


OOC: The quiz is ~70 questions, so if you don't want to take it, don't worry. Just skim the link and paste something in from the result list.

Magical Theory (Monday, 01/23/2006, 5th Period)

[romanywitch]

Okay, guys, we're going to talk about telling the future on Thursday. But today, why don't you all hop online and get your fortunes told?

Check out this free tarot reading site. Pick a question, and get yourself a reading using the Celtic Cross spread. Then let me know two things: First, what your question was, and second, what your impression of the reading's results were. Also? Lemme know what you think of tarot, if you know anything about it.

Multi Disciplinary Self Defense

[mrdmacleod.livejournal.com]

MacLeod waits at the gym.

"Okay, stretch out and warm up first. Raise your hand if you want to learn something new for your routine, or if you're having trouble with any part of it."

He lets everyone get warmed up and then gets out a wooden chest holding staves of various lengths and weights. "Okay. Try some of these out. Basic strikes." He demonstrates a simple strike. "Just test the weight and balance. See what works best for you. Everyone's different."

He lets the students figure out their preferences, going around correcting as needed. When that part is finished, he's back to the front with his own staff. "Mirror." He demonstrates and calls off drills for the rest of the class period before cool down.

"Okay, next time we'll try pairing off. If you want, you're welcome to stay after and practice."
