Paleontology, Jan 9th (7th period)
Tommy looks around as the students begin to file in to the classroom, and puts his smart doctor glasses back on as he stands up from his desk.
"Can everyone sign in to the attendance sheet there?" he asks. "Good." He smiles at them. "Now, to start things off... I'm Dr. Oliver. And I suppose you can call me Dr. O if you'd rather do that," he smiles.
"As far as class expectations go? At the beginning of my first teaching job, I was told to make my students as miserable as possible, and that if anyone was smiling, I wasn't doing my job properly. I'll be doing the complete opposite of that here. I want you guys to have fun with this class.
The first half of the semester will be mostly lectures- don't start groaning, guys, it won't be that bad- and then the second half, we'll be getting more hands-on, delving in to some fieldwork. On that note, there will be a field trip later this semester at a date to be determined, that I expect everyone to come on. It'll be fun, I promise.
Getting down to business, now... I'd like you all to introduce yourselves. Give me your name, describe yourself in one sentence, and then tell us why you've signed up for thiss class! You start," he says, pointing to someone in the class randomly.
