The Art of Bashō; Tuesday, Second Period [06/06].

[sake_shinigami]

"So far in this class," said Shunsui, once class was gathered once more underneath the tree by the pond in the park, with a few little booklets scattered around the circle and a pot of tea ready to be enjoyed, "we've talked a bit about some of Bashō's milestone works, but not too much about his poetry itself. Today, then, we shall change that ♥. Now, the man was incredibly prolific, so one does run into the issue of barely knowing where to start, when picking out poems to look at, so what I've done for us today is compiled a small selection of some more popular or well-known poems, and we'll let you decide which ones you feel are worthy of being discussed ♥.

"Take a moment, get some tea, get comfortable ♥," that, in particular, got a smile out of him, of course, "and take a look through the poems, and when you've decided on one, we'll all have a look and discuss it a little further. Pretty simple, neh ♥? Grab a booklet and some tea and let us begin ♥."

The Great Fandom Photography Scavenger Hunt; Tuesday, Third Period [06/06].

"You guys know the drill by now," Prompto chuckled a little from the front of the classroom, once all his massive amount of students had arrived and settled. "Let's see how your selfies went over this last week, and then we'll get onto your next thrilling and exciting topic!

"I'll apologize for that one now," he added with another grin. "This one probably helped you become a verifiable selfie expert, but this next one, if you're anything like me, is going to just make you hungry! But we'll get to that! First, let's see what you've got this week!"

Extremely Safe Science, Tuesday, June 6, 2023

[meepmeepmeep]

Beaker had discovered Roombas!

...Beaker probably should never had discovered Roombas. He was stuck on top of one, meeping in alarm, as a small army of the vacuums careening behind him in some sort of demented army of small, circular robots.

The floor was spotless, though.

"Meep meep meep mee!" Beaker said, pointing to a Roomba, then at each student, "Meep meep mee meep!"

One of the robots extended the chainsaw arm that had 100 percent no business existing. "MEEP!"

Beaker tried to make his Roomba go faster. It would not, but one of the others had been modified to be twice as fast as regulation. And was now sort of on fire?

Well. We're halfway through the session. You cannot be that surprised by any of this by now, right?

Introduction to Dinosaurs - Tuesday, 1st Period

[itsananomaly]

Cutter had been worried about Connor coming back to classes so soon after everything that happened, but Connor had insisted that he felt well enough to come in and teach today so Cutter had reluctantly agreed but he was keeping a close eye on Connor and had told him that if at any point he didn’t feel up to teaching that he could return home at any point.

“This week we’re going to be covering Giganotosaurus,” he began after casting a worried look over at Connor before he began class, “the Giganotosaurus is from the Late Cretaceous and lived in what is now Argentina, and it was first discovered in 1993 and is almost seventy percent complete,”

Connor wanted to be there. He felt a bit better and was tired of being cooped up in the flat. So he wanted to try and get through the class if he could. But he did decide he was going to give his part of the lecture while sitting down at the desk.

“Giganotosaurus was one of the largest known terrestrial carnivores, but the exact size has been hard to determine due to the incompleteness of most of the skeletons that have been found so far. Key parts of most skeletons have been missing, making it hard to accurately estimate torso, neck, and tail sizes. Estimates for the most complete specimen are as follows: 12 to 13 m (39 to 43 ft) overall length, a skull 1.53 to 1.80 m (5.0 to 5.9 ft) in length, and a weight of 4.2 to 13.8 t (4.6 to 15.2 short tons). Some researchers have said that Giganotosaurus was likely bigger than the Tyrannosaurus, which had widely been thought of as the largest therapod to ever live.”

Connor looked over and gave a small nod to Cutter, both to let him know he could continue with the rest of the lecture and to also let him know that he was still doing alright.

Cutter returned the small nod as Connor finished, he was still concerned but Connor seemed to be doing okay, so he resumed the lecture, “the Giganotosaurus is considered to be homeothermic, which is a warm bloodedness that is a cross between a mammal and a reptile and this would have enabled fast growth and based on its size, the Giganotosaurus is considered to be the apex predator of its ecosystem,” Cutter concluded, “for the rest of the lecture, I’d like you to work on your worksheets and as always, myself and Mr. Temple are here to answer any questions you may have,”

Loot, Loot, Loot - Tuesday, 4th Period

[good_for_six]

They were meeting in an ordinary classroom today, though ordinary classrooms didn't usually have a sizable pile of delicious candy treasure in the middle. "So we've established that teamwork makes the dream work," Isabela said. "But it also adds in complications."

"Namely, teamwork involves people," Aphra added. "And the kinds of people willing to go on a treasure hunt aren't always the kind that are good at sharing." For example, her.

"So today you get to figure out how to divvy up the loot," Isabela said. "If you don't come to some kind of agreement by the end of class, then as a pirate captain I get to keep the lot."
