Still want to be a Hero?, Thursday, 3rd Period

[wrongkindofsith]

Cara had once again instructed her students to meet her in the Danger Shop. On the one hand, there were no mysterious boxes this week, on the other they were in what looked an awful lot like a changing room...

"Sometimes doing good means a person might have to act in a distasteful manner," Cara said. "Not because it goes against whatever moral code they might follow, but rather because it's humiliating or undignified." Well, that surely boded well for this class.

Philosophy of Food, Friday period 3

[sharp_as_knives]

The classroom this week had been shifted around a bit. On one side, Hannibal had set out a table with chairs around it and a cloth over it, making as good an approximation of a dinner table as was possible. He hadn't used his finest china, but good dishes and silver nevertheless. On the other side of the room, a neat plaid blanket was spread out, with a well-crafted wicker basket in the middle. The dishes in it were sturdier, and the silverware plainer.

"This week, we're not talking about food." He chuckled. "Not precisely. Instead, we're talking about how other things relate to food." He waved from one side of the classroom to the other. "What sorts of food does each of these settings demand? What sorts of conversation and manners? What culture do you expect of each?"

Between the two halves, he'd set up a few other desks; all the food was laid out there. "This week, you need not choose. Sit where you like; move between the two. But think about this - when you choose your food and seat, is it only because of taste? Or is there a reason you prefer one over the other? What behavior do you feel is warranted in each place? What is most appropriate and most comfortable? Let's discuss that."

Sports, Friday, Period 1

Class was back in the park today, and there was a large section of grass marked off with cones.

"I hope you're feeling good this morning, because you're going to be doing something a lot of people hated back when I was in gym class... You're going to run a mile today," Flash said. "We're going to be doing a couple sessions with track and field events, so why not go for a big one right off the bat?"

"For the record, the world records in the mile run are 3:43.13 for men and 4:12.56 for women. If anyone here has special powers, I'm sure you could break those marks. But this isn't really a regulation track, so it wouldn't set a record if you did, unfortunately."

"Before you get started, remember that the mile run is about endurance as much as it is about speed. Don't kill yourself sprinting at the start. Find a good pace and try to maintain it. And, obviously, you'll need to stretch out first to make sure you don't pull anything and have a terrible weekend because of it."
