Business 101, Monday [2-16] First Period

[notanactualfairy]

Jean-Paul had a stack of magazines and a laptop computer with him today. "To begin, I would like to apologize for class not being held last week. Like many of you, I was not myself over the weekend, and I was embarrassed dealing with the aftereffects on Monday. However, this week's class will play into the events of the previous weekend quite nicely. We are going to talk about demographics. Demographics tell you who you want to sell to, and who you are actually selling to. They shape marketing particularly. If a company wanted me to buy a product, they would market it differently than they would to one of you. Non? So, your assignment for this period is to select a demographic cohort by applying age, gender, and social class--middle-class males, 18-24, for example--and find one example of advertising or marketing that is designed to appeal to that demographic set and one example that would not, then discuss how the second could be altered to appeal to your group. You may use any of these magazines, or search on the computer. Please take turns."

Library; Monday [ 02/16 ].

Sugar-loaded coffee mug in hand, Cal came into the library to open it up and was glad to see that nothing appeared like it'd been ransacked or anything like that.

He thought about possibly working extra hard this week to make up for the fact that last week, all he really did was sit there and boggle at the desk.

This thought existed for about 2.5 seconds because he laughed, wondered where the momentary lapse in sanity had come from, and kicked up his feet on the desk to relax.

Sex Ed, Monday [2-9] Third Period

[screwyoumarvel]

"I hope everyone had a good time with their flour babies," said Steve. "First, everyone will please turn them in and tell the class a little about your week and what you did with your 'child.' I hope it was good practice for the weekend after the prom, although most of those will be much more demanding."

Once that part of the class was over, Steve said, "Moving right along, let's talk about things you can do with your partner instead of having sex.

Blank Page Art Club, Art Classroom, Monday 2/16 (After Classes)

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

It wasn't by intention or design that Katchoo made it down before everyone else did this week, unless you meant by the intention and design of a cute and innocuous little clock who'd pestered her and pestered her until she headed down just to find that she was the first one there.

With a shrug, she got all the supplies out, set up an easel for herself in the corner, and got to work after putting up a sign that read:

Georgia O'Keefe had flowers. What's your metaphor?

It wasn't really a discussion question. It was just sort of there -- she wanted to see if the dirty implications hadn't occurred to anyone yet, and how they'd react.

Mad Kings & Queens, Week VII [Monday, Period 4]

[atreideslioness]

Ghanima was sitting on her desk as the class filed in today, a cup of spiced coffee clutched in her hands. Against the wall by the door, large carafes of coffee, tea, and juice sat on a table and waited for the students.

"I'm sure many of you had busy weekends," she said, watching as they got settled. "And I am quite aware that next week is Spring Break. Regardless, I need you awake and with me today."

Young Entrepreneurs; Monday, Period 6 [ 02/16 ].

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Nothing icky or awful seemed to have happened last weekend, so Turtle felt like she was on her game as she rapped her gavel to get the attention of everyone so the meeting could get started.

"Okay," she said, "we're more than halfway through February already and need to get cracking on some business. Anyone can sit around, eating pie and donuts and talking about business, but until you're actually selling something, you're not going to be an entrepreneur. Today, I was hoping we could talk about really wrangling down some firm ideas on what product or service to provide this semester to raise money for the club and ourselves. I know an Fandom Event Emergency Kit was mentioned at one point; there might be something there. Were there any other thoughts? And if we stick with the kits, what would we put in them and how do we make them better than if our consumers just went to the store to get the same things? Because, trust me, I own that store, I know they there's unlikely to be anything in those kits that they can't get there."

There was a pause.

"Unless the kits were filled with duct tape, anyway."

Darn you, elusive duct tape orders!

Childhood Games, Class #7, Thursday period 1

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

There was a Lily here today when the kids got to the classroom. Yes, classroom, no Danger Shop today. And this Lily was a tense little thing. Because while she may have looked like a cute innocent everyday teacher girl, she was in actuality kind of a sex fiend and this week was going to kill her.

"Today we're learning about language. Kids grow up, they start hearing you talk, they start imitating what you say which is why you shouldn't curse in front of them unless you want them to grow up to be sailors, and it's harder to learn languages when you get older which is why it's easier to grow your kids bilingual. There. You're done learning. For the rest of the class, talk to your friends."

And as she sat back at her desk, she added, "And shut up!"

Figure that one out.

Food Appreciation, Class Seven, Period 3

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Marshall had been experiencing...technical difficulties in the bedroom the last day or so. Normally that would be cause for panic, anger and a bit of crying in a closet. But Marshall had students to attend to and, goddammit, he wasn't about to cry in front of them. So instead of actually crying he looked a bit grumpy and on edge during the whole class.

In order to keep himself from freaking out too bad he switched up the syllabus a bit and moved one very special class up to today. And that class was all about--

"Pie."

Marshall gestured at the buffet table which was covered in all sorts of pie. Sweet pie. None of that savory stuff. Marshall wanted sugar today, dammit. "Pie is the single most delicious thing on the planet and if you think otherwise? You're wrong. Simple as that."

And right now he would probably fight the person who tried to argue with him about that. You don't want to fight with Marshall. That guy was crazy.

"There all sorts of pies. Fruit pies, chocolate pies, pies with nuts in them, sweet potato pie," Marshall got a dreamy look on his face. "There's pie with meat in them like chicken pot pie and those weird ones with beef in them that English people like. They're all good. Pie is good no matter what way you have it."

"We're sticking to the sweet pies today because I said so," he said a little irritably. He lifted up a cheesecake. "Cheesecake is totally a pie. Wikipedia said. Well, it said it was a tart which is an open-topped pie so there."

There was a long pause.

"Actually, you know what? They're cake. Yep. Cake and you shouldn't eat them because it's pie day. Here, I'll take them off your hands," Marshall said, gathering up the four cheesecakes that were on the table. "Don't you worry, I'll get rid of them."

And by "get rid of them" he meant "sit in the back, eat them and not share". He so wasn't in a sharing mood.

"Eat pie! Don't bother me unless you have to!"

Poor, sexless Marshall.

Ethics [Tuesday, February 17, 2nd period]

[sith_happened]

Today the class was meeting in the Danger Room. Not that there was any reason for Anakin to be in the mood to kill most of his student horribly. Really. This was what was on the syllabus.

...fortunately.

"Welcome to your midterm," Anakin said, pacing across the flight deck of a ship. Behind him, thousands of pricks of lights showed that a space battle had been paused for him to talk. "Today, you will get to be Jedi."
