Shop Class #7

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Upon entering the Danger Room Shop, The classroom finds it transformed into a metal scrap yard.

Mac sits on the remains of a car seat tossing a medium size pumpkin in the air.

"Now that we got the emitters back in order, it's time to put some of your fabrication skills to work. Today I want you to start work on an apparatus that will fling a pumpkin. It can be a catapult, trebuchet, cannon, giant slingshot... whatever you want."

Mac motions to the scrap yard around him.

"Only catch is? You can use the parts you found from the junkyard behind me. You have full use of the shop tools to build whatever it is you plan to build. You have class today to plan and build. On Thursday we'll test out your new creations."

I'll be grading your project on:
Originality
Use of materials
Accuracy
Distance

"We have open shop this afternoon, and I'll have open shop tomorrow for those who want to use that time to work on their project. If you guys want to do this in groups or on your own, it's up to you."

"Thursday morning? We make a mess."

((I'll be modding the results of the pumpkin fling on Thursday based on how you build your "flinger". The more detail? The better your results.))

Before he even starts on the catapult-thing Edward looks for Mac. "Hey teach? I'm back from my... *shudder* "vacation;" how do you want to go about the missed work/classes?"

"Welcome back Ed! We had two essays last week. One on the many uses of Duct Tape and the other one on Swiss Army Knives. If you turn those in by next week we'll call it even."

((Feel Free to do a *Turns in Essays* if you wish.))

"Works for me," Ed nods.

That bit of mundanity taken care of, he starts to root through the scrap pile for pieces.

"Hey, Elric!" calls an upside-down (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/332159.html?thread=16100223#t16100223) Anders. "Where ya been?"

Edward taps the bandage on his head (http://www.livejournal.com/users/alchemic_bean/14491.html) and frowns. "...long story. Why are you standing on your hands?"

Anders uses his nose to point over at an also upside-down Bridge. "Thinking position. What'd you do to your head?"

Re: Classwork

"Thinking?" Edward repeats in disbelief. "All the blood rushing to your head is just going to make you dizzy, you know." He shakes his head. "Let's just say there were a couple of fights I couldn't avoid."

"Ah. Yeah. Had a couple of those myself. No head wounds, though." Anders would nod sagely, but he's upside-down and it would just look silly. "And hey . . . it works for him, so I figured I'd try it."
