Nicolas Cage Appreciation- Monday- 3rd period

[fates_jaye]

Aww, welcome back to the last class in the Danger Shop Theater. The popcorn was even back and everything for you guys.

"It's the end of the semester... in the middle of the summer, or the start of the summer, however you want to look at it," Jaye began. "Which is good because I can only take so many Nicolas Cage movies. He's actually not even a bad actor, but just, seriously, dude, look at scripts before you say yes. Also- and this is just a tip for life in general- if you're going to name your kid after a comic book superhero, please give them one that they can lie about later in life. Or in kindergarten.

"Anyway, your last movie is about a Nicolas Cage trying to stop all these disasters before they happen, or something. I don't know anyone who's seen it. I haven't even seen it. So it's new to all of us."

Cultural Appreciation, Period Four

"Today is our last meeting," Thor said, looking somewhat disappointed. He'd enjoyed this class! "And to celebrate the completion of a successful workshop session... cake!"

There was, indeed, cake of all sorts. Pound cake, cupcakes, sponge cake, flourless cake... even cheesecake, which despite the name was not technically cake, but pie. Thor only cared that it was delicious.

"There's also the option of creating your own cake, if you would like..." Thor said. And indeed, there was a selection of moddable ingredients and a number of cake recipies available should anyone care to do so.

Summer Fitness, Monday Second Period, 6/24

"This is our last week together," Steve announced, "and I hope you've had fun and are leaving in at least a little better shape than you started. Today, we're going to run an obstacle course to kind of tie together some of what you've done." He talked them through the course, which involved running through a section of the preserve, climbing a rope wall, running through tires, then crawling through mud before climbing another wall, this one plywood, before sprinting for the finish line. "Your prize for finishing is that you get to finish! And I won't make you do pushups. Let's go." He blew his whistle. Tweet!

Practical Philosophy, Monday

[endsthegame]

There weren't just sandwiches out on the lawn today - there were sausage rolls too, and doughnuts, and bagels, and cake; Ender had put out a picnic blanket for the occasion, as well as a large standing umbrella that could be moved in if the rain kicked in.

And then there was the red kitten constantly trying to leap out of Ender's lap.

"I'm not particularly interested in having finals," Ender said. "They've always seemed fairly arbitrary to me. Instead, I'd like to keep fostering debate. But I'll throw the initiative to all of you this time. No topics, no pithy wise phrases to kick this off. Come up with an issue you feel is worthy of this class and throw it into the group. You're peers, whether you're aware of it or not: you can learn from each other as well as you can from me."

Hitting Things 101- Tuesday- 4th period

The students were back in the gym today, with a couple punching bags set up and mats put out across the room.

"This is our last class," Jaina said, "and I'm taking a break next session. So it's been great teaching you, thank you for not making me give out detention and please don't take that as a challenge for this class. Since summer isn't really a finals kind of time, I'm going to let you guys take it easy today. You can work with the punching bags, or you can pair up to do some sparring. Just go ahead and hit things. If anybody needs me, I'll be keeping an eye on you here."
