Sociology of Violence: 2nd Period

Grissom is standing at the front of the class, feeding a few tarantulas who are perched on his desk in their terrariums. They've been officially banned from his apartment and office, and will now live in the lab. Poor T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chili spiders.

"Welcome, everyone. After doing all that reading this weekend, you should be familiar now with the material.

So, instead of lecturing you, today we will participate in a project.

Using the full resources of the Humanities wing (the AV/computer lab, Grissom's creepy stuff, the science materials, etc.), I'd like you to design some sort of Anti-Violence message for the campus.

You will not be graded on this, so feel free to be experimental. At the end of class, share describe, link, whatever what you have done with the class.

Sociology of the Paranormal: 6th Period

"Please turn in your homework."

Grissom then lectures on the Sokal Affair as his students probably nod off, and lets them go without assigning any homework.

Feeling hypocritical, Bel suggested, "What about those bracelet things that people wear for causes? Could make an anti-violence one."

Veronica totally glared at Bel.

"I like Cole's bracelet idea...but I would add that just the bracelets won't make a lot of an impact. Maybe a rally or something?"

"Nothing works better than teaching by example," Krycek suggested innocently.

"This may be blatantly ripping off of Bel, but how about the previous trendy symbol for that stuff: colored ribbons. They're simple, they stand out, and they vaguely hint at a message."

"We could hold a forum for the students," Lee suggests. "With guest speakers who have seen how violence is not the answer to this-or-that problem."
