Beaching It [Week 3, Period 5, Wed. 7/21]
Sure there were scattered thunderstorms in the weather report for the evening, but today, it didn't stop John from holding class on the beach. It was hot and humid and completely the type of day to take a dip in the lovely bay water.
Today John sat at their meeting spot, bathing-suited up as they all should be, with large blankets set up all around. On the blankets were covered platters. They'd see what was in them in a minute. "Hey guys, girls...Rose," John greeted them upon arrival. "Today we're gonna talk about the sun's effects on people. So we've got our swimwear, we've got our sunscreen, now we've gotta stop ourselves from getting too tired if we're spending the day out on the beach. Which means water." He picked up a bottle of water and shook it as a nice visual aid there. "You've gotta stay hydrated. Drink a lot. But be careful with the alcohol. Sure, you kids are underage and I won't be giving you the booze in class, but if you choose to drink alcohol and lay out in the sun, your hangover's destined to suck. It's the hydration thing. Drink more water."
"Now, who's wondering about the silver platters here? I know I'm curious as hell," John flashed a grin. "Kidding. Well, along with drinking more water, you should keep up your energy levels if you wanna be able to play longer...you can take that dirty or not, it still applies. So what's energy? Food! Under those nifty silver covers you'll find a variety of foods. Your job? Decide which are suitable for consumption on the beach and which should be avoided. Use your judgment and share your ideas with the group. Or just hang out and get a tan. I'm cool either way." And then he left them to investigate those silver trays.
