Interstellar Relations, Monday, 5th Period

[hera-rises.livejournal.com]

Professor Roslin sat at the desk in the front of the room, glasses perched on her nose, scrawling notes onto a pad of paper. She occasionally glanced to the source material at her elbow, but appeared to be pulling together her own thoughts based on the text. Over the rims of her glasses, she watched as the students filed in and took their seats. She offered a quick smile to those who might have caught her as she looked up.

( 'Okay,' she said, lowering her pen... )

Continuing handwavily on for a few minutes, Roslin finally wrapped the class up. "Okay, for next week -- we start getting our hands dirty. Bring notes if you wish, but just be prepared to, ah, improvise as needed." She smiled. "Class dismissed."

[OOC: May or may not be available for play tomorrow, but will be tomorrow evening. OCD threads coming up.]

Library [11-13]

[agentthepaper]

Bright and early Monday morning, Ms. Readman opened the library. She settled in behind the desk and started rereading Crime and Punishment for the fifteenth time.

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

Lorelai is sitting on her desk and has The Doors blaring in the classroom.

Once everyone is seated, she says, "Good afternoon. We're still learning about music and today we're covering Classic Rock."

She gives a handwavy lecture about the subject, complete with a variety of music samples which I forgot to upload to link last night, oops.

After that, she passes out papers with information for the final projects everyone will have to complete.

"So, I realized it would be difficult to give a final exam based on this information and I decided it would be more fun to give you a project instead. The last two class periods will be devoted to each of you giving a presentation to the class about a form of pop culture when or where you're from," she explains. "If you have any questions, let me know."

Monday, November 13, First Period

The classroom is in its usual arrangement, with the usual spread of hot drinks and pastries. Although not quite what was available at the Tangiers, unfortunately.

"Good morning. I hope you all got a good rest last night. Today we're going to discuss what you observed over the weekend. Also, please remember that your group projects are due this week. You can submit them today, or there will be a box outside my office all week. Also, don't forget to turn in last week's homework assignment."

"Buenos dias," El said. "//Today we're going to do the future and conditional tenses. Fortunately, they are very easy to do together.//"

El passed out handouts on the future and conditional tenses, along with giving a short lecture.

"//Your in class exercise today is to discuss what you will be doing for Thanksgiving Break amongst yourselves. There's a handout of vocab to pick up on your way out.//"

Logan had coffee going and was looking a little worn, but otherwise quite fine, as he waited for everyone to file in and take a handout. On each desk was a book filled with full color, retro-style posters.

"So," he began. "Today we're looking at a powerful tool - not only of governments and the military, though their use tends to be the most well-known, but in advertising and even everyday personal interactions.

"Propaganda. It's a hefty word, right? And probably makes you think of the absurd rumors that are tossed around in political campaigns, insinuations and blatant lies that some institutions slap on brightly colored posters to get you to toe the line or follow their particular brand of bullcrap."

He smiled somewhat wryly. "And what I just said is even an example; obviously it was biased information, given my phrasing, and the beginning of an attempt to coerce you to believe what I meant if I'd continued any longer.

"The best use for propaganda is to instill carefully structured information in a specific subset of people. Sometimes its use is positive, but quite often it's applied with fear and hate." Logan turned on the monitor, flashing by images indicating the former and the latter.

Logan flipped to a new frame on the monitor displaying:

1. Who does this benefit?
2. Who is the audience?
3. What is the intended result?

"So what I'd like you to do is choose a poster from the book on your desk -- or describe one you've seen personally, if you'd like - and identify the three points in relation to that piece of propaganda."
