APPLICATIONS FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS FOR SUMMER 2009 (SESSION TWO)

[bigdamnprincipal]

To apply, read the following information, click the link to the application form, fill it out for the character you want to play, and send it off!

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE

As usual, we're going to have a period marked for early applications. If a player's application falls into one of the following categories:

a) Student applications where the player does not have a current student, or where the player's only student is leaving at the end of the summer
b) Teacher applications where the player has not previously had a teacher
c) Applications from new players to the game

and the application is submitted between May 31st and June 10th, we will consider it and, if there are any issues with it, will go back to the player once the application period has ended (June 21st) to give them a chance to make changes. Players in this situation will have five days to make any changes and re-submit their application.

Application Form
You only need to fill out the parts that are relevant to the type of character you are applying for (ie: if you're a student applicant, don't fill in the stuff marked 'Townies Only').

If you don't get a confirmation email from us within 24 hours, please email us.

Here at Fandom High we have a soft character cap of 10 characters per fandom. (Characters who have graduated or otherwise moved away from the island are not counted towards this.) There are currently no fandoms at full capacity, so feel free to apply for characters from whatever fandom you choose. You can check on your prospective fandom's character count by checking out the character roster on fandomhigh.net (linked above).

Applications close Sunday, June 21st, 2009. E-mail administration@fandomhigh.net with any questions and we'll try to respond promptly.

The next application session for students and teachers after this will be in August. Townie applications are always open.

Got a question? We're here to answer it!

Basketball- 6th Period- Class #4

"Hi, guys!" Lily greeted the class, and waved towards the table she'd set up, full of bowls of fruit and granola bars and little cartons of milk. "I brought snacks. They're all nutritious, I swear." That was probably something to do with talking to Daisy. "So today we're going to do something a little different. Today you can work on your layups. Have fun!"

Ignore that Lily hadn't told them what layups were. Maybe because she didn't actually know.

Drama, Monday, Period 2 [6/1]

"Memorization! This is the thing that frightens off so many people from acting. It's really not as difficult as people make it out to be. The thing to remember is that memorizing a script is sequential; you have cues and reminders that lead you on from line to line. Things to do, especially for those of you in the play this summer." Sophie held up a color-coded script.

"Outline your lines. Colors help trigger memory. Say them aloud. Most actor's memories work on both visual and audio cues-- and you remember your own voice best. Reciting the lines will help you memorize them. Some people also remember if they copy them over in their own handwriting. Do that if it helps. Memory is helped by physical movement; read the script and walk out the cues." Sophie smiled at them all. "Now! Scenes! Break into the pairs I've designated, and rehearse one of the three scenes I've given you. Switch halfway through, and see how different your performance in one character's role is from your partner's, yes?"

Arts & Crafts [Period 1, 6/1]

[magdaofslovenia.livejournal.com]

Sophie was burying her yawns in a cup of coffee as she greeted the class. "Good morning, I'm Sophie Devereaux. I'm substituting for Mr. Rogers this week; he had an out-of-town emergency. He's left me instructions on how you can all make lanyards, though, as well as key chains, if you prefer. Have fun with the beads and cords, and, well. I can't really answer any questions. I'm a fan of art, not an artist. Have at it!"

Keeping Your Advantage: Terrain and You, Week IV [Monday, Period 4]

[atreideslioness]

"Hello, students," Ghanima said as they gathered in the Danger Shop. "Today, we're back in a slightly more familiar climate: the prairie."

"Prairies are considered part of the temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands biome by ecologists, based on similar temperate climates, moderate rainfall, and grasses, herbs, and shrubs, rather than trees, as the dominant vegetation type. Temperate grassland regions include the Pampas of Argentina, and the steppes of Russia and Central Asia," she said, the Danger Shop starting to cycle through various landscapes as she spoke. "This type of terrian is found on many planets, and in many varieties."

( In which Ghanima does NOT do Little House on the Prairie very well. )

"Your assignment is to find your way to a campsite, about two miles due East of here," she said, handing out star maps and flashlights to people, including a bi-lingual one for Kenshin if he was there. "Once you get there, you'll find supplied for pitching tents, and s'mores. Of course, you'll still need to get your own firewood, and find a way to get the fire started."

"Now hop to it!" Ghanima laughed, clapping her hands. "There's chocolate waiting."
