Creative Writng; Tuesday, Period Two [ 03/07 ].

[a-demosthenes.livejournal.com]

There was nothing particularly special about Valentine's class when the students moseyed their way in. Just a classroom, and a young woman sitting on a desk up front with a friendly smile for each of them, and CREATIVE WRITING written in very big letters on a chalkboard behind her, along with a quote:

"I have been successful probably because I have always realized that I knew nothing about writing and have merely tried to tell an interesting story entertainingly." -Edgar Rice Burroughs

( In Which I Really Should Not Be Surprised that Valentine Got Talky.... )

And once "V. A. Waters" had finished, she gave a nod and a smile to her class and asked the penultimate question, "Okay, who's next?"

Modern Technology for Absolute Beginners, Period 1, Tuesday, 7/03

[halfman-lion.livejournal.com]

The class met in one of the school's computer labs, which was strongly and blissfully air conditioned. Tyrion was certainly more than pleased by the cool air; it was another bit of modern technology he was rapidly becoming quite fond of.

"Welcome to Modern Technology for Absolute Beginners," he said from his usual perch atop the desk, once the students each seemed to have found a work station. "This is the computer lab; the screens with letter tablets attached in front of you are called personal computers. If you've never touched one before, I recommend you wait until after I finish talking to do so."

"I am Tyrion Lannister, and this class is called Modern Technology for Absolute Beginners. If you aren't quite an absolute beginner, stay anyhow. I may call on you for your expertise. But I would like to know where each of you are starting out. For example, my world's far behind this one from the perspective of most of you. We've no electricity -- the thing that makes all these modern marvels work. We get about on horseback and send messages tied to the legs of ravens. It has many other charms" -- said a bit dubiously -- "but there's nothing like in this world, where an entire library can fit into a bit of machinery that a man can carry in his pocket."

Gesturing a bit to the class, he said, "Now you know my background, and now I'd like to know yours. Please tell me your name, what technology in your home is like, and one thing you either very much want to learn more about or wish to avoid. We'll play with the computers a bit at the end of class, if we've time left after the introductions."

Heroes and Villains 101, Tuesday, Period 3

[100powered.livejournal.com]

When the students filed into the classroom today, they'd probably notice that the room lacked any particularly fancy setup that was especially villainous or heroic. There were two men standing at the front of the room, however, who both seemed to be pretty obviously on separate sides of that spectrum. One definitely seemed to have the mad scientist look down to an art. The other... well, his facial hair kind of looked like tiny kittens. He was probably a good guy.

"Hey, class! Welcome to Heroes and Villains 101! Over the next few weeks, we're going to give you all an opportunity to approach a few different scenarios, to see if you lean toward making heroic decisions," the man talking, the one with the kitten-beard, smiled broadly at that, and gave an encouraging nod, "or cold, soulless, cruel decisions."

( There might have been a bias there... )

Sex Ed [Tuesday 03/07]

[not_in_the_book]

"Good day, everyone," Ronan said, standing up at the front of class, after everyone (or, at least, everyone who was showing up) had settled into the class. "Today's class is going to be mostly me talking, although I hope to avoid that in the future. Still, I want to go over a few things that you'll all need to know for the rest of the workshop.

"First off, I want to stress something: this is a safe space. That's going to mean a lot of different things. One: no homophobia, heterophobia, biphobia, transphobia, cisphobia, slut-shaming, chastity-shaming, shaming of people who identify as asexual or demisexual, shaming of anyone who identifies as a non-binary gender, or any other form of harrassment. Full stop. I don't want to hear any hatred in this class, and you do not want to see what happens if I do.

"Two: if anyone discloses personal information in this class, that information is not to be repeated outside of this classroom without the express permission of that person. I want this to be an opportunity for people to ask any question that comes to mind, and they do not need people gossiping and speculating behind their backs.

"Third:" ( and here Ronan abruptly started smiling )

Ronan leaned back against the wall beside the blackboard, looking at his students. "So this is where you start talking," he said. "Introductions are a traditional first-class activity at Fandom High. You'll be tired of them by week's end, I'm sure, but for now: name, grade, and one fact about your culture's stance on rights for sexual and gender minorities."

[Potentially NSFW, depending on workplace, for mention of concepts related to sex, and sexual and gender identity. Please wait for OCD is up!]

Library, Tuesday [7/3]

[secretheritage.livejournal.com]

When Cassie got to the library, she was glad to see that everything seemed to be fairly quiet. She happily shelved the books that were waiting for her and then she started straightening the other stacks that looked like they could use the extra care.

After she was done, she settled behind the desk with her notebook.

She'd be happy to help anyone that needed it.
