Music is Love: [11/21]

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Anyone coming into the music room will see that the interior has been changed from a nightclub to a... well a nightclub with a ton of Autumn decorations.

The fact that Lorne is dressed up as a pilgrim and there's a ton of the food at the table should tip off that this is probably going to be an easy class today.

The angry turkey that is pecking Lorne on the legs? Mostly likely for your amusements.

"Greetings my fellow puritans and Indians! Today we're going to get down with grub and talk some Turkey!"

This is followed by a the turkey attacking Lorne with an angry gobble.

"Get away from me you wretched thing! Kids? Remember when ordering a turkey? Make sure it's dead and frozen for delivery."

Again with the gobbles and the pecking.

"Watch it Tommy-boy because I have no problems turning you into giblet gravy.

The turkey glared at Lorne and stomped off into a corner. (Because Turkeys? Yeah they can totally stomp)

Lorne breathed a sigh of relief. "In case you haven't guessed it, today we will celebrate thanksgiving a little early. We will all go around the table and sing a song showing what we are thankful for. We've got the the traditional foods laid out here. Yams, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy, biscuits, Pylean yaksblood pudding, turkey - SHUT UP YOU STUPID BIRD! - and To-furkey for those of you in the vegetable ways of life."

Lorne takes a seat at the head of the table and starts carving up the turkey. "Now to start things off? I'll sing the first song."

( Lorne? He has plenty of things to be thankful for... )

"Extra Credit if you can tell me who wrote the song, who sang it and what movie it was in. Now dig in and eat up!"

OCD IS UP!

Biology, 11/21, Period 3

[blonde-doctor.livejournal.com]

Three large, plastic-wrapped fowl -- and one smaller bundle -- sat on lab tables, and a variety of knives, scalpels and other tools were arranged around them. Elliot appears slightly manic as she greets the class.

"Hey everyone, I know today is supposed to be ecology but that's kind of boring and it's two days before Thanksgiving so I know none of you are paying attention anyhow and we haven't done any dissection yet and we only have a few classes left, soooo we are going to dissect turkeys. Butterball turkeys." She thumped on the one closest to her, which might not have been as thawed as it could be and resounded with a dull thud, for emphasis.

"You would not believe how hard it is to find specific guidelines on dissecting turkeys, but here's a general outline on bird dissections and here's background information about the turkey. One big difference with these from your average dissection will be that the innards will be in a little wax bag, which is really cool but not exactly how it is in most animals. You should find a heart, a liver, the neck and 'gizzards,' whatever those are, in there. You want to look at the bird's bone and muscle structure and how the organs would serve their purpose. Oh, and obviously, these don't have any heads, but I figure you can live without looking at turkey brains."

"No cooking the turkey over Bunsen burners and eating it, unless you want to make enough for the whole class, but, really, it's not that yummy. And if you have ethical problems with dissection, we have a tofurky for you. Which probably will not teach you much about biology except biology of the soybean, but it's a chance to play with knives. You'll be working in groups of three to five, depending on how many of you opt for the vegetarian choice; I'll let you pick your own partners today."

"Any questions?"

Through a Glass Darkly: Spies and Spying; Week 11 - Period 3

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Good morning, all," Aly said with bright smile to the class.  "If you can hand in your papers from last week when you sign in, that would be fabulous."

She sat down on the front edge of her desk and looked more serious.  "These past few weeks we've talked about putting together a cover, a legend to help you infiltrate places you need to go.  In an optimal world, this will always work and you'll be able to get the information you need without incident and slip out again, none the wiser.  Of course, in an optimal world, we spies would probably not actually be needed anymore so I, at least, am thankful."

( Cut for length and stuff )

Library - 11/21

Isabel raced into the library a few minutes late. It was hard to get out of bed when it's cold outside.

The Best Medicine: Humor - Period 6 - Class #11

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

There was the usual spread of cheeses, some pastries, cookies and pie for the students today along with cider, tea and coffee.

Wilson was kicked back in his chair, watching as the students came in and settled down.

"All right guys. Given that it is two days before a long weekend and I know how our minds work, we're going to watch a movie in class today. For homework over the weekend I want a brief essay on the humerous properties of the movie and I also need you to be working on your projects. I'll be collecting those in the first of December."

Straightening up, Wilson grabbed himself some cheese and a slice of pie with tea then walked up to sit at the back of the auditorium. Punching a few buttons on the remote in his hand, the white screen dropped down and in short order National Harpoon's Winter Holiday was playing for the class to watch.

[ooc: It's Thanksgiving Holiday and my brain is taking an early trip down the tryptophan highway. OCDs will be up shortly are up and class is in session!!]

Criminal Justice [first period, Tuesday 11/21]

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Uh, hey," Dean said, standing at the front of the class. "V's busy off doing something.... V-like so that means I guess I'm running the class today." He held up a piece of paper. "He did leave notes on what we're supposed to do today so I can't just make up something wacky to make you do instead.

"We're supposed to pick a cause we'd be willing to fight for and give our lives to and start figuring out a plan on how to, and I'm quoting, 'seek personal justice.' Which I guess means figure out who the bad guys are, then decide how to blow them away before they blow away you first. So, um, get with your partner and see what you can come up with." Dean looked like he was finished, but then added, "Oh and if your partner's not here, I guess just pair up with someone else or you can work solo I guess."

Basic Acting, 11/21

[actingreaper]

The classroom had been laid out with mats and such around the room, and there were a variety of weapons and diagrams on using said weapons lying about.

Not a single one of the weapons was real.

"Okay, guys, time for part two of the stage combat section of the class. Last week we did unarmed combat, this week? Armed. We have cap guns, stage swords, foam billyclubs. . . . as well as women's shoes and a silver tea tray. All of these things can be deadly weapons, so please handle them with care. You get injured or dead and you fail for today, got it? I want you guys to group or pair up, grab a weapon of choice, take a few minutes to get the feel for it, look over the diagrams in how to use it on stage, and go to it." Daisy listed off a lot of safety precautions, just in case. She didn't want any spontaneous graveling creations in her class.

"Perhaps one of the greatest things you can do as an actor is play out a good death scene, so I also want you to 'kill' each other in these fights today. Try your hand at being Pyramus and/or Thisbee, and give yourself a great, tragic death. Make me cry, folks."

Fencing Club: Salle, 5pm

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

The salle was set up as usual when people came in.  Peter smiled at everyone as they came in and waited until all were gathered to speak.  "Good afternoon, everyone.  I hope everyone's week is going well and no one is too horribly distressed that we don't have class Thursday and Friday."  He grinned at the last.

"Alanna's graciously agreed to demonstrate for us.  She has more of a Western style than Zuko or Setsuna uses, and she's very, very good."  Peter grinned and bowed slightly to her.  "If anyone else wishes to demonstrate in future weeks, do let me know."

"After Alanna's demonstration, do work on your forms and moves.  I'd love to work with all of the newer swordspeople for a bit if you all are amenable.  And remember to warm up."

Heroism, Humanism & Hijinks: Literature in Action, Week 11, Period 5 (Danger Shop)

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Summary for Treasure Island.]

When the students entered the Danger Shop, they would have found themselves on the deck of a large sailing ship. There was only a slight rolling of the ship, but people with sensitive stomachs might have felt a little bit queasy.

"Welcome to the Hispaniola. Captain Flint couldn't make it, but this is an approximation of his ship. We're going treasure hunting, but in order to understand what our protagonists had to do before they could get on with the story, we'll be planning our own venture. Then you can play pirates."
