Leadership, Friday, 3rd Period

Scott sent out an e-mail letting his students know that they were going to be meeting in the Danger Shop this week. And as probably half the class knew, when you put Scott Summers in charge of a group in a room whose name began with 'Danger,' things were going to get pretty interactive.

This was probably a different kind of interactive than those people were thinking, though. You could probably tell that by the fact that Scott was holding a balloon in the middle of a park on a sunny day.

"A crucial part of leadership is understanding how to actually work in a team," Scott said, kicking things off. "So today, we're going to be doing a small team-building exercise."

"I've put you into four teams of four. You're going to be building balloon towers. The goal is to build the tallest tower you can before the end of the period using nothing but the provided balloons, rolls of masking tape, and your wits. And if anyone here has powers, those are forbidden for this exercise," Scott said. "So no flying up to dangle a string of balloons from the top of the room, no telekinesis to stabilize the tower. If you do that, I'll use one of my powers."

Scott pulled out a remote and pointed it at the balloon he was holding. It popped. No, he wasn't going to use optic blasts for that.

"Good luck."

Was that a suspicious smirk as he said that? Nah, couldn't be.

The Art of Scrap, Friday, Period 4

This week, Dean's students had been told to dress for the weather in clothes that they didn't mind getting dirty, because they were doing some hands-on searching for art supplies in Fandom's junkyard. Lined up at the gate were enough wheelbarrows for each student to take one, and each wheelbarrow had a pair of heavy work gloves, a travel mug of hot coffee, and a set of wire-cutters sitting inside.

Field Trip! )

Student Council [Friday, Lunchtime]

"I hope everyone had a good break, and a good start to the semester so far," Zoe said, as everyone gathered around the table for the meeting. She wouldn't discuss the past weekend if everyone else didn't either. "We don't have anything coming up in the next few weeks, as far as I can tell. Valentine's Day is next month, so we might want to start thinking about the annual dance. If anyone has other ideas, I'd love to hear them. Or, we can just enjoy our pizza." Really, she'd be satisfied with the meeting either way.

Library [1/20]

Wesley was, predictably, in a rather good mood today. He hummed as he tidied up the tables, placing books on the cart to reshelve later. The misshelved books seemed to mostly be on rather gruesome subjects, but his good mood persisted nonetheless.

The Club Fair, Gym, Friday Afternoon

For once, Jeremy actually came into the gym on purpose when the club fair was being set up. There was at least one club he knew he wanted to sign up for, after all.

So, he grabbed himself a copy of the club schedule, and set out to explore his options.

[OCD up!]

Chasing History's Monsters [Friday, Period 1]

A handwaved e-mail had been sent out to let the students know they were meeting in the classroom today.

A DVD player was set up in the front of the room, where Annja and Arya stood, waiting for their students to settle in.

"Vampire, a term that was popularized in the early 18th century," Annja began, starting up the DVD. "There haveve been numerous recordings of these entities in many cultures -- some even believed to go back to prehistoric times."

The vampire myth... )
