Sex Ed, Wednesday, Period 2, Class #6

[sparklyvirgin.livejournal.com]

"This is our last class before fall break. I hope you enjoy your time off and conduct yourselves as gentlemen and ladies during your leisure days. When you return, we'll jump right into the midterm project which will be half of your grade."

"Today we're discussing pregnancy." He took a moment to look out at the class. "Procreation," he said finally, "is a divine gift. Sex is not inherently evil or sinful. When two people join together within the bonds of wedlock, they not only experience the joy of exploring the bodies God has given them but they also have a chance to create new life."

"Each of you began as a collection of cells barely large enough to be visible to the naked eye and now look at you! You are each intelligent, individual beings capable of creating new life yourself! It's little wonder that the appearance of a new child in this world is called a 'miracle.' But this is a miracle we can understand. Today we'll discuss how an egg," he held up one hand, cupping the air, "and a sperm," he cupped the air with his other hand, "join together and develop into a baby." He clasped his hands together.

He brought out the slide projector again and discussed prenatal development from fertilization to birth.

When the lights came back up, Edward brought out five Empathy Bellies. "Thanks to modern technology, each of you can experience a simulation of a new life growing within you. Join up with your groups and make sure everyone has a chance to try out the belly!"

Flight Club [Flight Shed, 2pm]

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

Gavin hadn't ever really run a club before so he figured the first one, he could just kind of wing it and hope someone told if he was doing it wrong. If John told him he was doing it wrong, John was getting smacked in the head.

Maybe.

Anyway, it was the first meeting of the Flight Club and it was taking place at the flight shed. Gavin had some snacks and drinks set up on a small table he'd brought. Snacks always made it better, right?

"Hey guys," he said when everyone finally arrived. "Welcome to the first meeting of this semester's flight club. I'm, uh, Gavin and some of you probably know that. For those that don't, I'm a senior and I've been flying X-Wings for about two years now. Since this is the first meeting, I figure we'll introduce ourselves, tell what, if any, flight experience we have and in what way we fly and then we can just go from there. Our adviser's Professor Skywalker and he's a much better flier than I am."

With that, he nodded and waited for everyone else to introduce themselves.

Survive Your Own Cooking - 3rd period - (10/8)

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

There weren't any cooking implements today. There was, however, some popcorn.

And what looked like a television that had seen better days. For some reason Deadpool had decided the school needed an AV department that reflected highschools across the country. Luckily for the school and all sanity involved, he got bored after one TV and decided to just have it be the random television in his classroom.

...

He missed Fabian so damn much right now.

"Good morning kids! Today, you're all going to watch the proper way to treat food and travel. The Anthony Bourdain way. So, start smoking, swearing and being as bitchy as humanly possible!"

A beat.

"Okay, so I copped out on this class. Cut me some slack! I have an AV department to plan!"

Zoe would never even know what hit her! Seriously.

"Enjoy!"

Physics with trees, Period 1, 8 Oct '08

A map was hanging on the classroom wall behind Mohinder. "Congratulations," he started. "You're all lucky enough not to be living on a plate margin, and consequently are much less likely to be caught in an earthquake."

"The power behind an earthquake is stunning. Seismic waves running out from an epicentre to upset the surface with faults and slippage - it can be incredibly destructive at a great distance. Especially if the centre is underwater," Mohinder went on, explaining faults and tsunamis.

"With something of so much potential it's vital that we understand it, that we do our best to defend ourselves against the storm that nature has thrown at us. To that end there are efforts to predict not only the regions likely to produce earthquakes, but also more exactly when they will happen."

Mohinder started to pass handouts on earthquake modelling and seisometers. "You should have all you need to either model a quake or detect one."

Library [8.10]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal had a headache, which was why he was sitting at the counter, sipping willowbark tea.

The headache showed no inclination to leave, having been welcomed by the pile of work he'd received from home, so he was trying to negotiate a peace with it.

There were things he wanted to read about today, things that didn't involve problems he was expected to solve. Altra was curled up on the desk near Karal's mug, purring quietly.

Survival Skills [Wednesday, Period Four]

[doubleohblonde]

The Danger Shop was set up like classy, high-stakes casino, with Bond sitting in the dealer's position at a large poker table, idly shuffling a deck of cards.

"Today we'll be looking at gambling," he began, once the class was seated. "The kind you play against an opponent, rather than relying on luck, or the skills of people or animals other than yourself, simply because they rely on on the kind of skill sets that it would be frowned upon for me to teach you." As opposed to teaching them to play cards, yes.

"However," he continued. "The game is not stud, nor baccarat, nor Texas Hold'em. Instead you will be merely cutting the cards, since today, I'm going to be teaching you about bluffing, which is one of the most important skills a gambler, or anyone else for that matter can possess."

Bond then went on to explain bluffing as it applied to poker, and some of the ways you could pick up on if your opponent was bluffing or not, displaying a remarkable poker face the entire time. "Now, I want you all to pair off, and each of you will pick a card from the deck, I then want you to bluff your opponent as to the value of your card, betting on who has the higher value. You can play multiple games against multiple opponents if you wish, or watch a particularly interesting match so long as you don't overly interfere."
