Good Omens...and Bad: Prophecy in Theory and Practice, Class Four

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Monday, September 25, First Period

The furniture is back in place, and the table is piled with sweet and savory scones, several types of cookies, and fresh-baked spice bread. Aziraphale calls the class to order as soon as everyone is settled in.

"First, I have a short quiz for all of you on the material we've covered so far. And then we'll move immediately into the lecture, as there's a great deal of material to cover. Today we'll be discussing the major principles of interpreting prophecy."

( Cut for way more information than you'll ever want about interpreting prophecies )

Project Groups:
Blair, Phoebe, Belthazor, Lavender
Anders, Nadia, Walter, Pippi
Bridge, Dean, Dawn, Sam
Marty, John Connor, Lyra, Eric
Joxer, Agnes, Maia, John Constantine

Spanish 101 4, 2nd Period Monday

[guitar-and-gun.livejournal.com]

"I would like to apologize for last week," El Mariachi said as the students filed in. "But I'm afraid that a... personal matter kept me from class. I promise it won't happen again. Hopefully you all studied your vocabulary while I was away. It was mostly common Spanish nouns and adjectives most often used in conversation and the basics of grammer."

"//Today we'll be talking about the past tense, an important tense to be sure, but one with a lot of irregular forms to trip you up.//"

He delivered a lecture on past tense verbs.

"//Now, just like last time,//" El said. "//We'll learn through song//"

He suddenly dove down and pulled out his black guitar.

"The past tense is quit simple, and need for most written work.
It says where you've gone, it says where you've been, and it has a very a lot of perks.
hablé, viví, comí, hablaste, viviste, comiste, habló, vivió, vivió, hablamos, vivimos, comimos, hablasteis, vivisteis, comisteis, hablaron, vivieron, comieron.

To live, to eat, to live.
That is the waaaay of life!"


It was kind of slow and melodic. And very old skool Mariachi.

[Media Studies & Communication: Week 4, 4th Period]

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

Logan was sitting on his desk, as usual, when the students filed in. The screen was rolling through a slide show of print ads from magazines from many eras and for many different products. The coffee machine was burbling happily in the back of the class for anyone interested.

On each desk, there was a laptop, all of them on and connected wirelessly to the school network. Alongside each was a handout.

"Good morning, everyone! This week we'll be looking at printed media, specifically advertisements. Your assignment is to look through the archives of ads provided and choose one in particular that you think does its job - in other words, the logo, the color scheme, something about the ad makes you interested in the product. If you feel like it, go ahead and surf the internet a bit and see if there's something a bit more interesting out there. "

Logan turned slightly where he was sitting and typed something on a keyboard on his desk, bring up a couple of advertisements [ooc: warning, large image] on the screen behind him. "Once you've done that, we'll bring it up for everyone to see and you can tell us why it is you chose it. Everyone's encouraged to give their opinion on the advertisement you chose as well.

"Oh, and remember, next week we'll be going over what the midterm will be, so it's in your best interests to make sure you're here. If you can't be, let me know and we can arrange to meet in my office for a briefing."

[ooc: Wait for OCDeeeeee. Done, have at! If you need me for anything, I'll be around all of tomorrow, just slowish as will be at work.]

Intro to 21st Century American Culture - Monday - Period Five

[msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com]

As Lorelai’s students entered the classroom, they were greeted by the aroma of a pumpkin scented candle. There were bowls of candy placed around the room and Lorelai had hung fake spider webs around the room.

Once everyone had arrived and was seated, Lorelai grinned.

“Today we’re going to start learning about traditional American holidays,” she said. “I’m sure you’ve all noticed my decorations. We’re only about a month away from celebrating Halloween.” She went on to give a short lecture on the origins of Halloween and the modern celebrations of said holiday.

“Of course, after Halloween, we only have a few weeks before the winter holiday bonanza,” Lorelai continued, passing out a handout with information about Thanksgiving, Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Years as she discussed the various holidays.

“Any questions?”

Cross Species Communications - Monday - 7th Period (Week 4)

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter had a call from Miss Poppins informing him that she was being called away at the last minute (something about getting her uncle off the ceiling? WTF?) and that it was his duty as TA to ensure that today's class went off properly.

As such he stood in front of the class and waited for everyone to be signed in and seated. And because he was just more comfortable this way, there was a setup of tea, biscuits (cookies for you heathens,) and coffee for those who just can't appreciate the finer things.

( Right, then... )

Flight Club, Monday, 4 pm in the flight shed

[can_be_more]

It's the first time Aeryn's opened the flight shed herself, and she tries not to think too much about that as she sets up and waits for the others to arrive.

When they do, she greets them with, "If you don't already know me, my name is Aeryn Sun, I'm former military, spent a good part of the last three cy- years piloting a fighter ship and was doing so as late as this February. You've all shown at least a little interest in flying and learning how to do it, so this would be the place for it. Now I'd like you all to introduce yourselves, tell me what experience you have, and if there's anything in particular you'd like to study here, I'll see what I can do to get it."

She gestures to the simulator and says, "You'll also be able to get into the simulator this time. It's called a Prowler, and this is what I'm used to flying. It's used for reconnaissance and battle, and you'll even be able to operate weapons systems. Luckily you can't really shoot anything, no matter what your experience. If you need me for anything, I'm around."

Supernatural Support Group, Music Classroom, 6:00 PM

[demonbelthazor]

After Piper's phone call, Bel really wasn't in the mood to hold a meeting, but postponing the first meeting might be bad form. So he forced thoughts of what had happened to Phoebe and what he intended to do about it aside -- for now.

He waited for people to arrive, then began his introduction. "The purpose of this club is to provide a support network for those of us who aren't quite human," Bel began. "Sure, we have a mostly safe haven here, but there's the outside world to consider. Mutants get persecuted, aliens get experimented on, demons get vanquished. We got a lot working against us, but together we can figure out how to deal with possible problems that might arise.

"Anybody got any immediate concerns?"

He'd remembered the lessons of the JA. There were cookies.
