stargazer-ellie.livejournal.comThis afternoon found Ellie's desk surrounded by half a dozen stocky teddy-bear like creatures, poking at everything they could get their hands on. Ellie snatched a calculator away from one, giving him a warning look, and addressed the class. "Today's guests are Ewoks from the moon of Endor. They don't speak our language, but fortunagely they have a protocol droid with them to translate." She gestured to the silvery humanoid robot who now moved forward.
"Please give the Ewoks your attention," Ellie continued. "And remember, they may look cuddly, but they're not mere teddy bears."

Back in the regular classroom, M was standing as usual by her desk, ready to begin the lecture once everyone was seated. A slide was projected on the screen behind her.
CLASS THREE: ABSENCES

"I want to first congratulate all of you on making it through last week's exercise without killing yourselves. Although a couple of you --" She looked at Annette and Jake. "Came close. Today we'll be discussing the concealment of weapons, specifically their concealment within other, less suspicious items. I'll ask Blank and Santos to demonstrate the items I have here."

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007 08:05 pmvisor-laforge.livejournal.comGeordi was at his desk, sitting patiently as he waited for the students to enter and sit down at their desks. Once everyone was seated and people had stopped talking, he stood up and moved around to the front of his desk to begin his lecture.

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007 10:03 pmblossomsofice.livejournal.comSakura had a stack of handouts to give the class upon arrival today. "This story is in your textbooks as well," she said wryly, "but in order to ensure that everyone has read it, please take a few minutes to review the handout."
She waited about ten minutes before continuing, "( Taketori Monogatari, or the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter . . . )

Guitar, Period 4, Thursday
Wednesday, January 31st, 2007 10:56 pmguitar-and-gun.livejournal.com"Good morning class. Today is a lecture day. We'll be talking about guitar history."
"Now, the guitar itself arose from various instruments before what we know as the guitar came into existence. The first of these was the lute."
El gave a lecture on the lute's history, complete with handouts.
"Now, I got a few lutes for you guys. Why don't you try playing them and see what you think?"

Human Anatomy, Feb. 1, Period 3
Wednesday, January 31st, 2007 11:29 pmblonde-doctor.livejournal.comThe classroom has been remade into a very small gym, with 12 treadmills in a row pointed at another treadmill facing them. Workout mats and timers are in the back of the room, and the desks have "disappeared." (Elliot hoped the troll janitor, who she bribed to move them, wouldn't eat them.)
Once the class was gathered, Elliot hopped on the treadmill and began to talk, running at a slow pace. She only had to gasp for breath occasionally. "I thought that because we're learning about muscles today, I would make you guys get in a little workout while we learn," she said. "Bonus? Some of you are a little Peter, I mean pudgy."
"Anyhow, the muscular system is contractile tissue of the body and is derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells. Its function is to produce force and cause motion, either locomotion or movement within internal organs. Much of muscle contraction occurs without conscious thought and is necessary for survival, like the contraction of the heart, or peristalsis (which pushes food through the digestive system). Voluntary muscle contraction is used to move the body, and can be finely controlled, like movements of the eye, or gross movements like the quadriceps muscle of the thigh. There are two broad types of voluntary muscle fibers, slow twitch and fast twitch. Slow twitch fibers contract for long periods of time but with little force while fast twitch fibers contract quickly and powerfully but fatigue very rapidly." She gestured to a poster on the wall behind her, stumbling slightly as she pointed. "This is what the major muscle groups look like."
She continued her lecture for about 15 minutes before wrapping, not notably winded. (Though she might have been leaning on the treadmill handles a tiiiiiny bit.)
"My TA-slash-future BFF is going to demonstrate ... something for you guys, and then I'd like you to hit the mats and test your core muscle strength. No cheating, no faking it. Okay? Let's go."
