Basic Strategy, Monday, Period 4
As the students took their seats, they would each find a book being rather firmly placed on their desks by a teacher who had switched to modern dress for the week, though he wasn't quite sure he understood the point of his tie.
"Books," Tyrion informed them, once he'd finished the process of handing them out, "are the greatest tool there is in sharpening a mind. You may not think you need a sharp mind; perhaps you can get by on charging at things with a sword. And certainly that will work for some of you some of the time. For the rest of the time -- and especially for ensuring you have a properly full mind in a time of crisis -- there's nothing like reading."
"I am aware that there are other ways to obtain and store information on the island, but from what I can tell plain words on paper retain some popularity. Let's stick to those for the day."
"Your assignment is a simple one. Take the book I've handed you at random. Read as much as you can from it in the next half-hour. Then turn to the person next to you and have a discussion about what you read, and how you can see using the information in the future. And, sometime over the next week, pick out a book from the library or bookstore that talks about something you know nothing about, and be prepared to explain it to me when we next meet."
"If you cannot read, please let me know and we'll work out an alternate assignment." Probably it would be learning how to read, but that was a detail.

Re: OOC [9/26]
Also, I looked up Holliday on IMDb and she is playing Estella Havisham in the near future. This is one of my favorite female characters ever, so I commend her choice of roles!
Re: OOC [9/26]
Oh, yes! She was quoted as saying that was one of her dream roles, before she ever got cast in it. I'm not actually familiar with it -- shameful for an English major -- but I will totally need to check it out.
... while also hoping she stays blonde for it. My priorities.
