Arthurian Traditions Lesson 15

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

"Feasgar math dhuibh," Camulus says as class begins. "Since the beginning of this class, you've been exposed to several different accounts and interpretations of Arthurian legend, as well as doubtless other movies or books you have watched or read outside of class. Today I'll be introducing your final project. This is a class project, but I will be assigning individual marks based on participation and the work I see in class.

"In short, your assignment is to prepare a brief play. It should take the time of just about one class period. You can pick and choose which aspects of the legend you wish to use, whether focusing on the life of Arthur or the death of Arthur. Some things you might want to consider would be the Christian vs. pagan aspect of the tales, the gender roles especially those of women, the Grail quest, the deeds of the knights, and so forth. You can use outside sources. I expect some effort to be put into props and costumes. I want a complete script and bibliography handed in on the day of your presentation, which will be Thursday, December 8. That gives you just under three weeks to complete it."

He pulls out the class roster and looks it over. "Everyone must have a part, even if as a narrator if you so choose to have one. The current class roster which for all I know is wildly incorrect as I seem to be unable to keep track of my own students is:

future_visions
demonbelthazor
harried_potter
leeadama

You have this class to begin working on it, and I will give you a second class period the Tuesday before it is due." He looks around. "Get to work, people."

Ah. Nice cover.

Camulus regards him cooly for a moment. "I believe you, what's the phrase, aim to misbehave. Not that it's any of my business. Very well. It's your choice. I'll come up with an essay topic that you can write for me if that's what you want."

In all honesty I didn't reread the thread since this morning. I thought it was a single project for each student.

"Whatever you want," Angel spread his hands to indicate the wide open possibilities. "It's not about making my life easier, but yours. If me having a soul makes you dislike me so much that you want to kick me out of the class, I'll respect that. I'll miss the class, but I'll respect it. If you'd rather I do an essay, or some other project, I can do that too. Up to you."

"Now that's an odd viewpoint," Camulus drawls. "I was under the impression that possessing a soul was considered a good trait amongst the Tau'ri. Then again, not all of my students are Tau'ri. Angel-" he almost adds the last two letters "-you're my best student. I'm not going to kick you out. I'll have a topic for you next class."

[[And with that I'm off to batten down some hatches. Storm's a-brewin. Literally. Night!]]

Angel nodded, some of the tension leaving his shoulders. "Thanks."
