When the students arrived in class, they found a basket full of adorable, plush shapes just inside the doorway. Edward instructed each of them to grab the plushie of their choice when they came in.

Survive Your Own Cooking - 3rd period - (10/01)

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Today Deadpool was in mittens and had a nice, warm hat on. It wasn't cold enough to warrant that, really, but he thought it helped the class.

And it insulated his hands when touching hot things! It was a win/win.

"So, the days are getting shorter and chillier and you know what we all want to eat around this time of year?" A beat. "Other than donuts. Or fried chicken. Or turkey."

He could really keep going on this.

Deadpool shook his head. "Soup! I meant soup! The kind that is a bubbling cauldron of deliciousness that sits on the stove for hours on end! With bits of animal bones in it and smells vaguely of many a spice."

Now he wanted the damn soup.

"So, we're going to us that skill with boiling water today kiddos! You split up and pick what kind of stock you want your soup base to be--because we don't have the time to get you to make your own, even though Alton Brown is rolling in his grave with Betty Crocker-- and then you can make whatever soup strikes your fancy!"

A beat.

"But not Gazpacho. Even though it's delicious. It's a cold soup and that defeats the entire purpose."

He cleared his throat. "Try not to scald yourselves horribly during this!"

Physics with trees, Period 1, 01 Oct '08

[offthelisthero.livejournal.com]

"Today we live in a world that is growing ever smaller," Mohinder told the class once they'd assembled in a relatively normal-looking classroom with less than normal amounts of foliage. "Places are linked with others across the globe, more people are living and working in countries not of their birth. Globalisation weaves the people of this planet into an ever finer net."

Moving to thread his fingers through one of the shrubs, Mohinder continued on the point.

"Or on a smaller scale, your breakfast tea or coffee may have travelled up to half the world to reach your cup." The screen behind Mohinder lit up as he spoke; producing regions in light blue and green flowing across the world map into consuming regions in darker shades. "Growing coffee needs a similar climate, but with variation in the rainfall, soil and atmospheric conditions a variety of caffiene delivery systems are possible."

Bringing to a halt his discussion on the geography of coffee, Mohinder began to set out a number of unmatched jars, mugs and other tea equipment. "I want you to think about how you're affected by growing globalisation - other countries, other planets if that's relevent; do we have a responsibility to the negative - sweatshops, exploitation?"

He took a cup of tea, inhaling briefly before finishing with, "Oh, and how far you would go for a good cup of tea? Or coffee too, if you must."

Library [1.10.08]

Karal was still embarrassed when he opened the library. It didn't help that Altra wasn't letting him forget that he'd had a bird on his head.

"It wasn't my fault," he muttered to a snickering Altra as they got the library ready for the day. "It was a very small bird, and very quiet."

Altra just kept snickering.

Survival Skills [Wednesday, Period Four]

[doubleohblonde]

As the students entered the Danger Shop, Bond by no means looked cheerful, but definitely somewhat less cranky than he had last week.

"Today, we're looking at a skill that's more likely to save someone else's life rather than your own," he began once everyone had arrived. "While there are several which would fall under that description, the one in particular I'm referring to is first aid. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, of which I hope there aren't any, it refers of No matter what kind of life you lead, of all the subjects I am covering in this class, this is one of the ones you are most likely to use, and thus I strongly recommend that you all take an accredited first aid course at some point in your lives."

Bond continued for a while, talking about a variety of situations first aid might be needed in, and demonstrating several techniques. "Now, I would like you all to take a turn practising CPR on Anne here," he said, gesturing to a dummy. "As well as pairing up and practising treating each other for cuts, burns, sprains, and the like, you'll find plenty of bandages and other equipment at your workstations."
