Hunting 101 Class 3 -- Wednesday Period 7

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

When the students entered, they saw John sitting at his desk and two tables set out at the front of the room. One holds the sign in sheet and a pile of handouts. The other holds a number of curious items.

( John waited until all his students had filed in and taken their seats. )

[OOC: wait for OCD is up, have at it :)]

Internet for Dummies, Wednesday 9/20, 3rd Period

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

The danger room is set up like a Japanese garden, complete with low benches, soothing waterfall sounds and the scent of flowers. The only thing out of place is the large red mat with a white circle on it, and the goth chick holding a gong.

GONNNGGGG

"I love doing that." Abby grinned over the fading echo of the gong. "As you can see, we're doing today's class in a slightly different environment. I'll get to that point in a minute."

"Last week you learned how to use ISP's to sign onto the internet, this week we're going to learn how to look at it. We're talking about browsers today. They're a program that you use to access text, images and information on the web." Abby said, giving a very informative lecture.

"Ask most any geek and they'll tell you why their browser is the best. Some of us even have multiple browsers that we use for different tasks." Abby smiled and pointed to a pile of flesh colored plastic. "Today, we'll discover which browser is the best by a totally scientific experiment."

"Fake sumo wrestling."

Abby banged the gong again loudly. "Grab a suit and let's get our sumo on!"

[ooc:please wait for ocd threads Up! Go and play!]
[son of ooc: Just in case people aren't aware of the inflatable sumo wrestling phenomenon, here's a couple of pictures of the suits]

Library [09/20]

Bridge arrives bright and early for his first time opening the library, and and settles in behind the desk with a notebook and schematics for the projects he's currently working on.

American Political Campaigning (Wednesday, Sept. 20, 1st period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh propped the door open so that he could keep an eye on the Student Council elections taking place in the hallway, then finally turned his attention to the three students in his classroom.

( Read more... )

He sat down and cracked open a can of Caf-Pow like Abby had recommended. This was probably not going to bode well for his fourth period class.

World Religions, Wednesday, 2nd Period

[preacher-custer.livejournal.com]

Jesse seems to be permanently locked into his favorite spot, feet propped on his desk. Or he might just be asleep with a cup of coffee in his hand.

The clipboard for sign-ins is once again on one of the front desks, with a stack of handouts.

After everyone has come in, signed in, and taken their seats, Jesse opens his eyes and starts in on his ( lecture. )

US Government (Wednesday, Sept. 20, 4th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh was practically bouncing up and down in his chair. Drinking Caf-Pow had not been a fantastically brilliant idea. Josh's rapid-fire approach to talking was bordering on the completely incomprehensible.

( The Declaration of Independence )

He passed out copies of the Declaration of Independence. "Okay. I want you to go through the list of grievances that the colonies had with England and tell me the one that would make you the most cranky. Next week we're going to have a very exciting quiz on everything you've learned up until now."

Josh perched on his desk and waited for the first student to comment.

Myth Into History, Week 3: Larger Than Life? [Thurs/1st Period, Danger Shop]

[drjcovington.livejournal.com]

This week, the Danger Shop was set up as a creaky old dock in a harbor, with an old ship, sails tattered, moored alongside and rocking gently on the waves. The usual long tables were set up beside the dock, plates of cookies within easy reach. As for Janice (who still felt stupid about giving in to the cookie thing) herself, she was perched on a large coil of rope at the end of the dock, chomping on a cigar with her usual gusto.

"This week," she announced once everyone was seated, "we're covering the stories of two ancient seafarers: Ulysses, AKA Odysseus, and Cecrops, the Lost Mariner. We talked a little bit about the gods last week, and how they loved to screw around with mortals. These two guys here, now, they really got screwed. Did they do something to deserve it? Sure, you could say that. Ulysses could be a pretty arrogant schmuck, right? There's a reason Homer called him the man of many wiles, and by the way Gabrielle knew Homer, but that's beside the point. And Cecrops -- well, any of you know the legend of the Flying Dutchman? It's a lot older than you think. But first, a quick discussion of last week's activity: what've we learned about getting too fancy with words?"

( After the discussion, it was on to the lecture. )

[OOC: OCD up, whee!]

Ethics (Thursday, Sept. 21. 6th period)

[sith_happened]

Vader came stalking into the classroom precisely on time, cape billowing behind him.

The door slammed in his wake.

"Today we talk about gossip," he growled. "Last week we explored the truth. This week, we focus on manipulating the environment around someone."

He pointed at the radio he'd brought into the classroom. "The pirate and his minions are masters at the art of euphemism and shading, twisting and massaging the truth to give their listeners a complete different impression."

He paced in front of the class. "Today, you shall do the same. Each of you will begin a rumor in this classroom about a student, teacher or person living in town. It doesn't need to be true. It certainly doesn't need to be polite. It can even be about someone in this classroom." For a moment the only sound in the classroom was Vader's breathing. "But think very, very carefully about the consequences of saying something negative about me." He paused for another moment to let that sink in before continuing. "You will then tell this rumor to the person next to you, who will pass it along to the person next to them. You can pass it along verbatim, change the context or manipulate it however else you wish. At the end of the class, we should have 20 new rumors and a bunch of people angry with each other, mwahahahaha."

He pointed at a student at random. "Begin."

Dance 3rd, 5th period Thursday

[guitar-and-gun.livejournal.com]

As the class slowly filed into the dance stuido, they may notice something odd about El.

He always gives off a bit a cowboy vibe. But never before has he worn a cowboy hat. Of course, it's black.

"Howdy, class. We'll be working on country/line dancing today. Some of you may snicker, but many believe this to be a wonderful form of expression and I find it difficult to believe that any form of dance is not a valid form of expression. And if you think this is bad, wait until the end of the semster."

So saying, he launched into a lecture on country/line dance. Complete with demonstrations with Nadia.

After finishing, he nodded for Nadia to join the rest of the class and picked up his guitar. "Now we'll see what we can do for practice..." he struck up a country tune. "Swing your partner round and... something. Just dance."
