Guitar, Period 4, Thursday.

[guitar-and-gun.livejournal.com]

"A simple class today," El said as the students walked in. He pulled out his black acoustic guitar.

"Today is our guitar construction class. And first thing today we will do is learn about the structure of the guitar."

El went through his guitar, identifying and explaining everything on his guitar.

He then gave out a handout.

"Now, take your guitars and identify the parts on them."

Library [01/25]

Bridge totally didn't almost forget he's got a new Library day. Nope. He's here, *on time*, with coffee in hand.

Human Anatomy, Thursday, 1/25, Period 3

[blonde-doctor.livejournal.com]

Elliot had arranged the desks in the classroom to look like tables for two in a restaurant, complete with tablecloths and rosebud vases.

"Hey people, I am hoping you are all yourselves today because we are learning about the digestive system." She hit a button on her laptop, and a powerpoint presentation of the system popped up. "The key parts of the digestive system are the mouth, the tongue, the esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, the large intestine, and the anus. They work together to get food from the plate to, um, the bathroom." She explained the workings of each part in more detail, passing out a handout as she did so, before hitting another button on her laptop to bring up a media player.

"For doctors, it's one of the most important systems because pretty much everything about your body chemistry turns up in the output of the digestive system. To show you what I mean, here's a little song from a recent episode of a strangely true-to-life medical sitcom."

She played the video, humming along, before turning to face the class again. "I am not going to make each of you give a stool sample, because that's kind of unhygienic and the administration would probably get creeped out by it. But you will be testing the other end of your digestive systems. Each of you has an array of baby food jars containing food samples in front of you; your job is to pair up, take turns blindfolding each other,and feed each other to see how sensitive your tastebuds are. You should each have something sweet, something salty, something sour and something bitter."

"And as always, add a sketch representing at least part of the digestive system to your body tracings before the end of class but after you un-blindfold yourselves."

Film and Lit, 1/25/07

[actingreaper]

Daisy was hovering over the coffee machine in the classroom again. Looked like these first thing in the morning classes weren't quite her cup of tea, as it were.

If they listened closely, the students might just overhear her mutter "my kingdom for Der Waffle House" under her breath as she sipped.

( but enough about that, let's move on to the class itself )

Science! (Thursday, Period 7)

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Instead of the usual jump and twirl entrance Ms Frizz made each class period, there was simply Hikaru sitting on her desk, waiting for everyone to be seated. He maintained a steady smirk as they all seated themselves.

It felt kind of neat to be the teacher.

“Alright everyone, Ms. Frizz is out sick.” He nodded, smirk still in place. “So I’ll be running class today. We’re learning about light.” He hopped down from the desk to stand in front of the class; sure, they weren’t a very big class, but he totally had power over them right now. And it was good.

“Light, is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength visible to the eye. The most important thing to know about that is intensity, which is how bright light is, and frequency, which is the color we see." He picked up a shiney prism and took a pocket flashlight to it, shining it through at an angle so the rainbow of colors shows up on the opposite wall. "At different angles, the frequency of the photon's, light particles, wavelength changes and they show up as different colors. ROYGBIV or what have you." He paused to collect his thoughts. "Right. Now that that's through..." He put the prism down and crossed his arms over his chest, surveying the class.

"Instead of a field trip." He looked Liz up and down. Sure, the lizard had proved herself a fine driver last time, but he just really didn't trust her at the moment. What, with them needing to shrink down to photon size. "I decided that we're playing flashlight tag. With mirrors." What may not have been noticed earlier was all the random mirrors set up around the classroom. "The only way to tag someone and get them out is to shine the flashlight off of a mirror and hit them." He held up the little flashlight, which look more like a laser pointer and worked more like one with it's concentrated beam. "You can hide behind things, but only for a maximum of five seconds. Otherwise Turtle would look rather stupid wandering around trying to tag you." He smirked and placed the flashlight directly down in front of her.

[[ooc: AH! I hope I did this right/reasonably! I’ve never written a class before…so hurrah to that! Enjoy and wait for the OCD! (sorry if this is too weird and you don't know what to do! Just...play tag!) AFK for awhile... SP. EEK.]]

Sociology of Space Travel, Thursday, 6th Period

[hera-rises.livejournal.com]

Roslin was fiddling with a file on her computer as the students entered. On their desks, papers were laid out, obviously text of a speech and some other copied material, as well as a package of freeze-dried ice cream. Behind the professor, the SmartBoard was lit, but no image was visible. This changed after a moment, and the desktop view of Laura's screen became visible. She closed out a word processing file, then switched over to a browser window. A video website had been called up, and it sat on the page while she began the class.

( 'Welcome back...' )

[OCD threads coming up! The video is RealAudio format, so if you can't stream it, the text is provided at the site. It's a little long and rambling, but a pretty good speech. His "encapsulated" history of science is pretty interesting.]

School Assembly, Friday afternoon, The Auditorium

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Welcome, one and all, to the first school assembly of the new semester! In case you haven't met me yet, I am The Tick! Dean of Students here at Fandom High. That means that where student issues are concerned, I am the parking attendant in the self park garage of your education!"

"Today, we have a special in the garage! It's a special that speaks of a different kind of special you might get in a seedier garage. Today's special is called DANK: Drugs Are Not Kool! Spelling is cool, of course, but sometimes you have to make an exception and spell something with a 'k' to work. Anyway, we will have several speakers this afternoon, guiding your car into a parking space of a clean and healthy life! Please welcome our guests!"

[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. Also, since it seems appropriate this time, there will be a thread for after the assembly to speak to the guests a bit more privately. 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! Speaking of which, speakers should be sure to check their comm invites.]

Adventuring Survival Tactics, Period 4, A Classroom, 1/26/07

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

It wasn't swatches of carpet or bean bag chairs, this day in AST. Instead, there were leather ottomans about. Imported from the Ottoman Empire.

"Today," the Doctor said. "We'll be talking about something you'll probably find even more outrageous than the idea of running away. Today, we're talking screaming. And just so we're perfectly clear, this is not a sexist thing. Men can do this just as 'orrible as the ladies, and sometimes even worse."

"Screaming does many things. Draws attention, clears your lungs, assaults the ears, and much, much more. When confronted with something terrifying, like a Dalek, screaming is a much better reaction than soiling yourself. One is much easier to clean up after than the other. Now, here's the good thing about screaming: It gets people to react. It may get help. It, sadly, might get more of the villains to come after you. It might even kill the thing you are facing, if they're vulnerable to certain frequencies or decibels. All of this? Very likely."

"So, I want you to..." He pulled a set of ear plugs out of his pocket and stuck them in his ears. "Practice screaming. It's an important skill. Also, if you want to discuss how insane this class is, that works too."

"For homework, please compile a list of five situations for which you think screaming is a good idea, and five you think are not a good idea for screaming. Got it? Fantastic."

Tremble Foolish Mortals: The Gods and You , Class Three [Period 5, Thursday]

[sideburnsofwar.livejournal.com]

When the students came in Ares was sitting at the front of the room throwing energy bolts at a number of scurrying action figures, whenever one connected he would start giggling in a most ungod-like manner.

When he finally noticed his class, Ares stood up. "Firstly, I would just like to say that anyone who wants detention for the rest of the semester just has to mention last weekend, white leather, or the L-word."

"Now that we've got that out of the way, Today we are going to be talking about Zeus and Hera, the King and Queen of the Gods, and my parents, so no disrespect from you brats."

( If the class had been paying any attention to Ares... )
