Creative Writing; Tuesday, First Period [ 07/26 ].

[sake-shinigami.livejournal.com]

It was difficult for Shunsui not to be in a good mood today; today was one of his favourite writing exercises, and not just because he really wanted to know the answer to the great mystery that it addressed.

He let the kids get settled, passed around the coffee and hot chocolate, which continued to be a nice comfort with all the cold weather, and they might have noticed some music playing in the background.

"Welcome back, ducklings ♥," he said. "Last week, we talked about character, and, well, they were definitely...creative ♥." He was being very kind, Stan. "Now we're going to be moving on to things like plot and action and something to write a story about ♥. Sometimes, one writes a story to answer a question: what is they mystery of life ♥? What is love ♥? What is life, death, war, peace, etc, etc, etc ♥? So today, we're going to answer a very important question.

"Take a moment," he continued, "to listen to the song I've got playing ♥. This passionate ballad is sung by the rather...er, commanding presence of one Meat Loaf, in which he declares with dedication that he would do anything for love....but he won't do that ♥.

"So many writer find inspiration in music, and that is what we shall do today. Take a few moment, peruse through the lyrics, and consider ♥. Your writing assignment for the day is to answer that one question: what is that? The one thing someone wouldn't do for love, and why not? Weave it into a story today. Take some time to brainstorm and consider, and then spin your yarn, in whichever fashion you see fits it best, about what you, or your character, characters plural, Meat Loaf himself, won't do for love ♥.

"If there are no questions, I'll let you get started, and, as always, feel free to bounce ideas off each other as well ♥."

It made things less work for him.

Tricks, Cons and Bamboozles | Tuesday | Period 4

[charming_thief]

“Well, we’re now halfway through the class,” Neal informed his students as they arrived, seated (as always) with his feet up on the desk and leaning back in his chair as far back as it went. “So today, I thought I’d take advantage of all the resources we have at this school to work on something kind of different.”

Sure enough, there were several racks of clothing scattered throughout the room, complete with just about any type of clothing a person could want in all imaginable sizes. Don’t ask how. They just were.

“Sometimes, when you’re running a scheme, you’ll need to take on a persona,” he explained. “Maybe it’s a mob leader, maybe it’s a housewife. A big part of it is being able to dress the part. If I showed up in a suit like this one to try to make a case for my being an FBI agent, I’d fall pretty flat.”

…It was true.

“So I have assignments for each of you. I want you to come up with a costume that matches your description, then pair up and try to guess each other’s. Everyone clear? Go for it.”

Try Not to Die!!!! [Tuesday, July 26, 2011]

[sith_happened]

Instead of meeting on the causeway like usual, Anakin was bundled up as much as the rest of them and was standing before the workshop in....wherever the hell they were, using a bit of the Force to make sure his voice was heard over the wind.

"Because this environment is so drastic, I felt like there was more here for you to learn about survival, so today's class will also be held in the cold. There will be hot cocoa waiting for you on the other side, please keep your skin safe from the cold...and try not to die."

With that, Anakin raised his hand and dropped the class into the 19 individual caves he'd dug for them under the snow.

Anakin needed more productive hobbies.

Deep Sea Diving, Tuesday, Period 3

[takesaftermom.livejournal.com]

Summer had the Danger Shop set up to resemble Australia today. It was a similar setting to that of last week's location, except there was no island to be found for miles. She was dressed in her diving gear, all ready to get in the water.

"I thought you guys might like today to explore the area, split off into a group or go out individually, if you'd like. Take note of what you see and we'll discuss it next week."

Library, Tuesday

[angelo_wings]

Rinoa had decided that today was a research day. And so, she was looking into locations for some of those great libraries she had mentioned to Seifer.

Really, they should be exploring the world outside this island, shouldn't they? There was entirely too much to see, and no excuse for not taking advantage of portals.
