Fandom Invasions Class #9 (Thursday period 3)

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

When the class entered the Danger Shop, they found themselves standing on the grounds around the school.

"Good morning," John said. "Last week was about zombies, this week we're going to be covering an invasion that was outside my own expertise. Which just goes to prove that no matter what you're used to dealing with, eventually in Fandom you're going to run into something completely outside your experience.

"For me, that was when we were invaded by dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. I never dealt with them before, but I took what I did know and applied it to that situation, with the result being that I have the makings of a saber tooth catskin rug if I wanted one." John grinned.

"So today's about using what you've learned in facing the other threats we've studied in this class, as well as any personal experience you have to deal with Fandom's version of a blast from the past."

Popular Culture [November 8, 4th Period]

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

There was a flatscreen TV mounted on the board.

"We've talked classic rock now let's venture to pop music. Pop music is another branch of a genre called popular music, actually pop music is one of the more recognizable form of music today. An' it's really not that complicated some people even refer to pop music as bubblegum 'cause of its simplicity. Usually the lyrics are often about romance and heartbreak and well..." she arched an eyebrow, "sex."

"The 1980s produced one of the most number of pop music and you know this because of the hair, shoulder pads an' the very purple eyeshadow but mostly, because of this," Rose turned on the TV and a group of men with mullets proceeded to sing, "by the way, this is one of the more popular '80s band back then... they're called any guesses? If you think it has anything to do with the word 'pop' you're not wrong."

As soon as the song was done Rose clicked off the telly. "Short trivia, the eighties also saw the birth of a network so crucial to our culture it spawned a whole new lifestyle, an' that's the MTV. Somethin' we'll be discussin' soon and I hope you read up about the subject. An' one of your projects would be to create an MTV of your own... so..." Rose looked at them, "I hope you do take that class seriously."

Rose tilted her head and studied her class, "You lot have been in this time period for months now so I'm gonna put your knowledge about this era to the test... what are the top ten pop music artists to date (to date bein' early 1990s to... well today. Any question's you'll be havin' I'll be at the back."

US History, Thursday November 8th

Chuck turned to the class. He gave them all a very sour look. After all, it was their fault he was there.

( Well, in a way, he's kind of right... )

[OOC: It'll be up faster than Chuck can jump an art teacher!
That's pretty fast. Up!]

Communication - Thursday, Period 5

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

"As I told you last week, this week's class is about public speaking. Public speaking is an important part of communication in that it trains you to organise your thoughts effectively and allows you practice at speaking in front of people you otherwise wouldn't be comfortable with.

If you haven't prepared your speech and can't get it done by the time it's your turn to speak, then this week you'll be getting a lesson in improvisation. If you have a serious problem with this assignment, I'll be at the back of the room. Feel free to come and speak with me."

Student Council [noon, Friday, November 9]

"We're going to have to make this fast," Josh said, "because Aly managed to convince me that volunteering to drive a bus full of you up to a wedding in Massachusetts doesn't sound like a one-way ticket straight to alcoholism and I need to go pick the blasted thing up."

He grinned. "But I talked to my people in the White House yesterday and they gave me the greenlight to invite you all to visit them next Tuesday. If you've got class that day that interferes, come talk to me and I'll write you up a note."

He waved his hand towards the food. "Chinese is over there, I'm over here...bother me if you've got something important."
