Language Classes, 12/01

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Hello.

First, I would like to remind those of you who have not yet done so to complete the poll on classes for next semester. Unless, of course, you are done studying languages.

Languages of Europe: Go to the computer terminals in the lab and play French verb hangman. You will get extra credit for telling me which verbs you played with and conjugating them appropriately.

Cat: I already told Miss Hopeless-Savage this, but I am suspending classes in cat-form for the remainder of the semester. I believe it would be irresponsible for me not to do so, given the plague of involuntary animal transformations at the school. Today, you may read through the web archives of "Cat and Girl", by Dorothy Gambrell. The cat in this strip is drawn largely in human form; discuss how its body language remains feline.

"/Normally I would say it is just me, and the things I have gone through. But other students often appear very upset by the end of class./"

//Interesting,// Dream says, appearing thoughtful. //Yes, perhaps someone older and more experienced should talk to Miss Maclay.//

He folds his arms. //What do you think should happen to the class?//

Archie shifts in his seat and rubs his chin. "/It is a good class subject, and the students bring many interesting views to class. I should like to see it continue, but perhaps in a different way. One that is less upsetting to the people in it./"

//Interesting thoughts,// Dream says. //Do you have any questions for me before we finish?//

"/Only that you can tell me where my language skills need to be strengthened,/" replies Archie.

Dream appears pleased by this question. //You need to work on your grammar more than anything else -- your reading and vocabulary areadequate. I have a book on French verb conjugations you could take home, if you wished.//

Archie nods. "/That is what I thought, thank you, sir. My previous knowledge of the languages was not picked up in the best places. I would appreciate the book, as well./"

Dream goes over to his bookshelves and pulls out a thin French grammar, which he hands to Archie.


//You do well, given that,// He says. //I will see you in class on Tuesday.//

Archie accepts the book with a small smile as he stands.

"/Thank you, sir. I'm sure I will find this helpful./"

//I hope that you do.//

Dream stands. "Thank you for your time and your work in the class, Mr. Kennedy."
