Teambuilding for Dummies [Thursday, 4th Period]
Today the Danger Shop was set up to resemble the library, though with a complete lack of librarian or library aides. Oz sat reading at the main desk with his feet up as he waited for the last of the students to file in. Once said last student had arrived, he spoke up.
"Detention. All of you." After pausing just long enough for that to sink in and get a reaction, he stood up and continued. "That's today's assignment. You see, it's easy enough to form enduring bonds of friendship and team spirit during times of adversity and life-threatening danger, but it's harder you're just shoved in a room together with nothing to do. Hence, detention."
"What I want you to spend this class doing, is to sit at the library desks, and to stay there and write essays about who you are, while I read in the office. I don't you to move, I don't want you to talk, or move, or argue, or bond over the various reasons you're in detention which are in envelopes next to your blank essays, or go on a wacky adventure to steal leftover cupcakes from the last class, or anything like that." Oz completely wanted them to do these things, he just didn't want them to get caught. "Got it?"
When the students were all seated, Oz picked up his magazine and headed towards the simulated librarian's office. "Remember, shutty," he said as he closed the door.

Re: Sit Down, Shut Up, and Write Your Essays - TfD [07/21]
(This is stupid.)
Clearly, they were supposed to disobey the class instructions and bond while getting into trouble. But that required disobeying the class instructions, so what kind of lesson was it teaching?
So, he wrote an essay about himself -- although, since the length hadn't been specified in the instructions, it was less an "essay" and more a "sentence".
Let Oz deal with that how he would.
With the purported assignment done, he leaned back in his chair and stared at the ceiling. Someone else could start the wacky hijinks.
