Slacking - Second Meeting [Friday, Period 1]

Once again Max showed up early just so he could prop his feet up on his desk, put on his sunglasses, and pretend to be napping. He was idly wondering how long it would take before someone figure out it was all an act. He was also idly wondering how long it would be before he was actually sleeping since this class met way too early in the morning for his taste.

This time, though, he sat up just as class was scheduled to begin. "Welcome back to slacking. For those who slept through it last week, I'm not going to introduce myself again, so learn one of the first tricks of a good slacker and make friends with someone who actually pays attention." He flashed a look at Marco assuming he was there.

"Being the perceptive sort of person that I am, I noticed last week that some of you seemed unconvinced of the usefulness of proper slacking. Today's exercise is intended to cure you of that innocent misconception." The grin that slipped across his face probably wasn't very comforting.

"You might have noticed the four boxes I have here," he waved at his desk. "Each one contains a fascinating item called a 'jig-saw puzzle'. You will organize yourselves into four groups and each group will select a puzzle to work on. You may leave as soon as you are finished. I, as your ever-helpful teacher in these matters, will move between the groups and provide helpful instructions that will assist you in accomplishing your task. If you finish early, then you're welcome to leave early, or join another group, or take a nap. If your group fails to complete the puzzle before the end of the period, make sure you see me afterward. You'll be getting some extra homework."

"Go ahead and select your groups. I'll be up here if you have any questions."
