Speech Comm

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

301--3rd period

Honesty

Today we're going to play a game. I'll give you the why behind it tomorrow. This is called three truths and a lie. Please think of threee personal facts, they can be simple our outrageous, and one lie that sounds plausible. Tell us and we'll try to guess based on what we know about you so far this term. It's very simple. three truths and a lie, and then guess. Have fun today gang...I'm playing too. Go.

********

401--5th period

You all heard this last term, but now you've grown so we're going to revisit deconstructionism and post-structuralism. Theory behind speech comm is backed by science: psychology, sociology, medicine, and behavioralism. Once again I only have one question for discussion today...and you can bet your boots we're going to discuss the heck out of it.

In a sender/message/receiver paradigm...who benefits?

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

There is a note pinned to Ms. Sidle's classroom door:

Hello all,

No class today. Sign the roll sheets and be prepared for Wednesday's field trip.

-Ms. Sidle

School Announcements, March 20

[overlord-zordon.livejournal.com]

Today's announcements are nauseatingly punctual and occur ten minutes before first period.

"Good morning. Thank you all for not indulging in any permanently-damaging incidents of drunken debauchery over the weekend, except perhaps to some of your egos. Teachers are reminded to turn in records of any outstanding attendance issues at the office today."

"Furthermore, all students are advised that Locker 723, in reaction to its opposite numerical counterpart, has begun shooting out circus peanuts in defiance. These are to the best of our knowledge completely harmless and quite tasty as well. Or so I've been told." Again, any bitterness you might hear is solely in your imagination. Really. "That will be all. Thank you, and please bear in mind that it is a very, very bad idea to let an unsupervised robot celebrate a holiday dedicated to excessive imbibing."

Mon Mar. 20 - The librarian is in

[bamf-away.livejournal.com]

Kurt had entered the library early in the morning, after a night of coffee with CJ. He was amazed by the place, especially the "special collections area". He nearly entered that part, but opted not to. Instead he just took the time to wander around, looking at all of the books, and getting a feel for the place.

Mostly he was just happy.

(ooc - Ok, finally Nightcrawler is in the library. Since I don't know the full protocal, Kurt went ahead and opened the library and is just lurking about. Mostly. Anyone want to meet the "fuzzy elf", come on down!)

Creature Languages, 3/20, Period 4

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

It's possible Dream may not be entirely recovered from directing the play, but he hides it well as he4 stands before the class.

"Hello. This week, we will study the language of snakes. We'll begin today with a discussion of snake mythology -- human mythology about snakes, though most of it has parallels in the snake culture.

( No, they aren't all on planes. )

Dream passes out a second handout listing additional myths about snakes.

"I would like for each of you to read and think about these stories and choose one as a favorite. For extra credit, imagine it from the snake's point of view."

Sociology Courses | March 20, 2006

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Soc. of Violence: 2nd Period

Grissom hands out a pop quiz to his students.

After a few minutes, they'll get to the part where it is revealed to have no real answers, and is actually an exercise to prove a point.

"What's the solution to this problem? Is it a computerized database? A more powerful federal law enforcement system to oversee state and town officials? A new method of classifying and reporting the data?"

---

Soc. of the Paranormal: 6th Period

After the class has taken a seat, Grissom begins a lecture on Satanism, being careful to point out that most Satanists do not in fact worship a deity called Satan, nor do they follow a principle of evil according to their definition.

( 9 Satanic Statements and 11 Satanic Rules (Oh Boy!) )

"We've certainly touched on the role of evil sexy demons in class as a part of paranormal activity, so that you should be working on your own definition at this point, and these ideas stand directly opposed to some of the other philosophies we've taken a look at in the past few months.

So... reactions?"

HOMEWORK FOR BOTH CLASSES: The Body Farm field trip is Wednesday. You are invited, although attendance is not mandatory for Sociology students. The rules will be explained to you the day of, wear comfortable, old clothes and sturdy shoes.

[OOC: Link NWS if your boss is going to be displeased with your casual reading on Satanism at your desk during lunch. Spoilsport.]

Paleontology, March 20th, 7th period

[dr-tommy.livejournal.com]

"This week, I want you guys to write a short essay- about 300-400 words- on some aspect of the importance of paleontological research. It'll be due next Monday. Hopefully, today's film will provide you with a good starting point."

There's another movie today. This time it's Dinosaur Park, a documentary about... well, Dinosaur Provincial Park, in Alberta, Canada.

As the film finishes, Tommy reminds everyone to please turn in their homework from last week.

Tactics of War, Monday, 20 March

[harringtongreen.livejournal.com]

James MacGuiness attaches a sign to the door of the classroom, then stands back to check his handywork:

All Tactics of War students should proceed to Cafe Fina between 6 and 8 PM. Any other questions or concerns should be directed to Admiral Harrington.

Satisfied, he then makes his own way to Cafe Fina.

Anthropology, 6th Period

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel's office is, well, let's face it, a mess. He's pouring over some document or something at his desk, whilst waiting for his two students to turn up.

"T.S. Eliot wrote "Culture may even be described simply as that which makes life worth living." Daniel began. "Why do you think he said that? Human culture is the discussion topic of the day. Shall we try and define it first?"

"Your midterm essays are also due today, so just..." Daniel frowned slightly as he looked down at his desk. "Hand them to me, I think, would be best!"

Shop Class: [3/20]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Mac opens the doors to shop class and the familiar scene of the virtual junkyard greets the students.

"Today kids I want you to build a security system for your dorm room that will either trap or warn you of intruders. Use any materials you might find here in the junk yard."

Celtic Studies (03/20)

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

[[I totally forgot about class today, my apologies, I'm here now!]]

"Now, before we begin class, you had an assignment due on Wednesday that I neglected to collect. Meaning you've had almost a week's extention so I expect it to be that much better. Hand them in on my desk."

He stood and pulled down a large map that bore absolutely no relation to any earthly coast. A dotted line traced some kind of path. "The Voyage of Maleduin. The bastard son of Aillil Edge-of-Battle and a nun goes on a voyage to avenge his father's death, but two of his cousins jumped on the ship at the last moment and put their numbers over that which had been prophesied. Doomed to wander from island to island until the tag-a-longs died.

"What I want from you is an idea as to the whys - why the seemingly unending progression of islands. Why the certain number. Parallels to any other stories we may have read or that you have read. Give me something."

US History - Period 7 - 03/20/06

[fandom-sub.livejournal.com]

There is a sign-in sheet at the front of the class. The generic substitute teacher delivers a lecture about Gettysburg in a monotone voice. It's thrilling. Really. At one stage, he starts asking questions and calls on Bueller to answer them, forgetting that there is, in fact, no Bueller in this class. Right?

"Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?"

Multi-Disciplinary Self Defense

[mrdmacleod.livejournal.com]

A sign on the practice weapons chests at the front reads, "Pick Your Weapon Day."

Duncan is idling about with a stave in his hands. " 'Pick your weapon' means that you and your sparring partner agree on."
