Hyrule History and Legends!; Friday, Second Period [09/16].

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"Welcome back, everyone!" Sidon, of course, greeted the class with his usual enthusiasm and aplomb, but a big grin and a pump of his fist to get things started. "I do hope you're ready to dive into more exciting history and legends of Hyrule, because that is precisely what we shall be doing! Last week, we talked about the three goddesses said to have created Hyrule, and a little bit about Hylia, the goddess appointed by them to protect Hyrule.

"This week," he continued, "allow us to turn our eyes toward Hyrule itself, and get, as it were, a lay of the land, so to speak! Let us talk....geography!"

( In Which a Very Large Sharkman Talks a Lot about a Very Large Map. )

With that, Sidon finished his breakdown of the highlights of, yes, the entire world of Hyrule, and then turned toward his students with a bright smile. "And there you have it! That is Hyrule....quite literally on paper! Do you have any questions for me? I'll be more than happy to delve into more detail should anything in particular have caught your attention! But, if not, then we'll get on with today's activity. I have a map of Hyrule for each of you," which he went to fetch from the desk now, "they are labeled, although with Hylian script, which, unless you are quite the savant in foreign languages, I can't imagine you can read effectively, and so your job today is to familiarize yourself with the geography by labeling all the regions yourself! Never fear! I have a list of the regions and a key with English labels to follow if you're stuck, and I am also here to help you out should you go astray! So, unless you'd like to discuss any of the regions a bit more, I'll have you begin on your mapping out of this great land!

"And," he added, "I should very much like to have your thoughts about it if any of these lands or places or the details about them caught your interest, so that we might explore them with a particular focus in the upcoming classes. I would be more than happy to tailor our course of study to what you'd like to learn about most, especially since there is certainly no lack of topics to examine, and it might help me decide what we shall learn more about! So we'll discuss it, briefly, if you have thoughts or ideas, and then I'll let you get to your work!"

The Adventuring Life, Friday Period 3

"Well, Yennefer is not here and she had the lesson plan."

Lies. Neither if them did.

"So, it appears we shall have a movie day instead!" That was exciting, right? Right? "Hopefully this movie will give a good idea of the open road!"

He'd never watched it. Clearly.

Topics in Sith Philosophy, Friday

[unusual_sith]

The classroom was back to normal today, and Lana nodded as they came in. "Today we're going to talk about one of the central tenets of the Sith philosophy: conflict. The Sith observed that in nature, there is conflict, and the strong survive and get stronger, and the species as a whole is improved. This led them to believe that conflict was central to improvement - conflict inspires growth, conflict brings knowledge. Without conflict, life stagnates."

She spread her hands. "How do you feel about that? Is it true in nature? Is it true in personal or galactic relations? Should it be? Let me hear your agreements and disagreements and the reasons behind them."

Library - Friday

[onlyajones]

Jo had received a new care package from her dad and letters from home, along with a new letter from Deidre about how the start of the school year had been .

Once Jo had put away the books that needed to be reshelved, she settled down at the front desk to read her letters . Deidre had mentioned that she had gotten an invite to Parents Weekend and was hoping to be able to visit - she had asked Miss Grayling and she was waiting to see if she could make it.

She did hope that Deidre could visit Fandom, she knew Parents Weekend was getting very close - she did still have a fear that her dad was going to visit - she did not want a repeat of what had happened at what turned out to be her last half term at Malory Towers.
