Famous Shipwrecks of the Deep, [Thursday, Period One, 9/2]

[takesaftermom.livejournal.com]

Summer stood at the front of the classroom, waiting until all of her students assembled before speaking. "Good morning everyone. My name is Summer Pitt and this is Famous Shipwrecks of the Deep," she began, smiling warmly. "As the title says, we'll be focusing on famous shipwrecks of the deep. These wrecks are from all different times in maritime history. Most are well known to historians and marine scientists. We'll be discussing them. Some of the causes of the wrecks are undetermined. I'd like to see if you can come up with a theory as to why the ships met the fate they did. It'll be fun to see what you theorize."

Summer paused, pulling out the syllabus and passing it out to her students. "Today we're going to keep it simple. I'd like you to introduce yourselves -- your name, grade and one shipwreck you'd like to learn about. If you can't think of one, that's okay. You can just tell me why you're interested in this class."

She was looking forward to their responses. "Also, Ariel, I'd like to see you after class, if you have the time."

"Name, grade and one shipwreck you'd like to learn about and/or your interest in the class."

"I'm Cassidy and I'm a freshman. I just thought the premise of the class sounded really interesting."

Re: Introductions [9/2]

"Glad to have you here, Cassidy," Summer replied.

"Percy Jackson and I'm a sophomore," he said, glancing around and wondering how he'd ended up in another class with his cousins and the face stealer.

"I'm here because I like the ocean," he added vaguely. His dad was the King of the Seas, of course he liked the ocean.

Re: Introductions [9/2]

"Welcome Percy," Summer said. "I'm a big fan of the ocean myself." She'd been around it her whole life, there was no way she couldn't love it.

Jack, meanwhile, had just been introduced to the idea that there was ANOTHER kid with his brother's face. He was staring, yes.

Really, a second class with the same crew of misfits would be great. If only the topic wasn't so...watery. "Nico di Angelo, also a sophomore. I'm clearly being punished by the gods since water and I are not exactly the best combination."

Re: Introductions [9/2]

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

Percy sent Nico a decidedly smug look because he went great with water. If this had been a class on the dead, he was sure that Nico would have been bouncing excitedly.

Water, though, that was something Percy could do without thinking.

"Not the biggest fan of water?" There was a small part of Summer that was a little disappointed by that but it didn't mean she didn't understand. "Maybe this class could change that. In any case, I'm glad to have you here."

"I'm Luke, and I'm a sophomore too," he said. "And I'm not sure how I ended up in this class. Which isn't bad or anything. Just surprising."

It was like he unconsciously knew he'd be spending a lot of time on a boat in the near future or something.

"My name is Lion-o, I'm a junior, and I'm here because I really enjoyed my previous water-based classes," he explained. "My home planet didn't have a lot of water, so we didn't get to swim in the oceans. It's something I really enjoy here."

"I'm Jason Todd, I'm a sophomore, and, well, I didn't exactly sign up for this class, but I don't mind, 'cause I don't know a lot about ships." Plus, he had another chance to glare at Percy, and practice made perfect.

Re: Introductions [9/2]

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

Percy was going to glare first because, well, because. If Jason the face stealer had to be in all his classes, he was going to glare every single time.

"Jack McCallister, junior. The Edmund Fitzgerald sounds like a good one."

Re: Introductions [9/2]

[takesaftermom.livejournal.com]

"Welcome. The Edmund Fitzgerald is definitely one of the more mysterious cases on the syllabus," Summer noted. "It'll be interesting to see what theories you might have for its sudden sinking."

"Hi, I'm Ariel!"

Someone was bouncy today, good lord.

"I'm a sophomore, and, oh, gosh, I couldn't possibly pick just one! Any shipwreck is a good shipwreck, and I am so excited to take this class, you have no idea! I've always been interested in them, ever since I was a little gu--"

She coughed before she finished with guppy.

"--irl."

Talk to Summer [9/2]

[takesaftermom.livejournal.com]

She's there, both before and after class.

Re: Talk to Summer [9/2]

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Guess who was still bouncing when she went up to Miss Pitt.

"Hi, Miss Pitt; you wanted to see me?"

She didn't think she was in trouble. She really couldn't think of anything she'd have done to get in trouble, so she was banking on it being something good.

Re: Talk to Summer [9/2]

[takesaftermom.livejournal.com]

Oh, it was definitely something good. Nothing for Ariel to worry about.

"I did, yes," Summer replied, smiling brightly. Ariel's bouncing amused her. "I was wondering if you'd like to be my teaching assistant for the semester?"
