Health, 9/29, 3rd period

[blonde-doctor.livejournal.com]

Elliot waits for all of the class to arrive before she starts to talk. "Hi. Welcome to our tobacco unit.

"I'm sure you have heard since birth that smoking is incredibly disgusting and bad for you. It is. I have a little film strip about exactly how it's bad for you, and here's a handout about the fun stuff tobacco companies do to try to convince you you want to breathe in addictive chemicals all the time. "

Anyhow, I'd like for you to work together in class today. Pair up and role-play scenarios where one of you is trying to get the other to smoke, and then trade places. There are some sample scripts on this sheet. Oh, and quiz next week on everything we've covered so far, so studying before then wouldn't hurt."

School Assembly, Friday Afternoon, The Auditorium

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

After watching the crowd gather and encouraging them to settle down long enough to listen to people talk, The Tick began to speak.

"Welcome, students and faculty, to our first assembly of the year! We'll be doing these to help impart something to our students. Give them advice, entertainment, and something worthwhile to do on a Friday afternoon!"

"Today you'll be getting advice from several speakers. They are motivational speakers, people who speak and give advice to help you better yourself! They are the tops in their individual fields, respective Everests, and this assemply is your sherpa, helping you scale that mountain to a better you!"

"Some of today's speakers are professional motivational speakers! Some are fellow students with some special advice! And one is a local business owner just looking to help out!"

"I think it's about time to let them do their jobs now. Please give the speakers your undivided attention and have some fun!"

[OOC: Each speaker will have their own thread, plus there will be a Q&A thread at the end of the post for them to ping into. Please wait to ask the speakers questions until the speakers have pinged in.

There are also a couple of general conversation threads for people who don't want to give their undivided attention. :)

Big thanks to all of the speakers!]

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

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Friday, September 29, Second Period

Once again the furniture has been rearranged. There are large comfortable pillows and cushions on the floor, and between each set of two is a low table with two decks of cards sitting on it. One deck is an ordinary set of playing cards, the other is a classical tarot deck. There are also two sets of handouts on each table. As usual, a table of tea and coffee, scones, cookies, and tea sandwiches has been provided.

"Today's exercise is on Cartomancy, or the skill of divining through cards. Cartomancy can be done using ordinary playing cards, although many people choose to use the more ornate and specialized tarot cards. You have a choice to use either one today. Once you've gotten comfortable, I want you to follow the guidelines on your handouts and do a simple reading for your lab partner. You can choose any layout you like, although you must use a minimum of three cards. If you're not certain what to choose, consider using the Celtic Cross, which is a very common layout for general readings."

HOMEWORK: One of the handouts is actually a take-home test. Please complete the test and bring with you to lab next Friday.

Library [9/29]

[likethegun]

Coffee and homework well in hand, Sam headed over to unlock the library.

Student Council [lunchtime]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh was in a fantastic mood.

And no, he wasn't going to tell you why.

When the members of Student Council had walked into the room he greeted them with a bright smile.

"Today we've got a lot of things to get through, but I know you're all anxious to get to the school assembly, so let's see if we can't get through them fairly quickly." He looked around the room. "Homecoming is next week and we need to organize the voting for Homecoming Court, decide what kinds of things need to be included for the carnival, and sell tickets and organize the dance. I have decided that the sophomore class representatives will be in charge of organizing the court, the juniors will handle the carnival, and the seniors will head up the dance."

He grinned at the freshman representatives. "I haven't forgotten about you guys--I'm just letting you be recruited by the other classes if they need more hands."

He linked his hands behind his head and tipped back in his chair. "We also need to elect a president from among you to serve as my chief...staffer. Not minion. Personally, I'd prefer a senior, but it's entirely up to you. Look around the room, decide which of you twelve you'd like to lead, and drop that name into the ballot box on my desk." Josh pointed to it.

"Questions, comments, funny stories?"

ETA: Following the election, Josh tallied the votes. "Congratulations, Alanna," he said, grinning, "our new Student Council president."

Announcements, Friday Morning

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Good morning, students," Zoe said, far too brightly for the hour at which she was at the PA system. "This is a reminder that the following students need to report to detention tomorrow morning:

Jamie Madrox
Agnes Nitt

"And this week's lottery winner is Blair Sandburg. Sorry, Blair. Don't forget that there is an assembly in the auditorium this afternoon. Trust me when I say that you would all do well to attend. That's all for this morning, thank you."
