Creature Languages, 1/26, Period 3

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

"Hello.

We have our first quiz in class today, covering what you have learned about Spider, Dragon and general creature communications.

After you finish the quiz, you may watch a DVD showing a woman who claims to psychically communicate with animals.

I cannot speak to her psychic gifts, but it is worth noting the extent to which she uses relatively obvious Cat, Horse and Dog in speaking with the animals on the DVD. This may even be unconscious on her part. In any event, watching this communication should help you prepare for Monday, when we will launch our unit on mammals."

Sign in here, under the person before you so the thread is all pretty and collapsed.

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Take the quiz. It's 15 multiple choice questions and two short passages to translate; respond by saying you took it and what grade you think you got.

Blair bounces happily as he watches the video and takes notes.

Blair took the test and although he struggled a bit on the first translation, he flew the second. A

"People pay this woman to come and talk to their animals?"

Multiple choice? Walter breezed through it.

The translations? Not too bad, although he was desperately wishing for the Dragon/English dictionary he'd returned to the library on part of it.

Lisa signs in, in a collapse-y manner.

Xander signed in properly, following instructions like a good boy.

Clearly he wasn't himself today...

"Some do, yes. I believe the term for this may be, 'more money than sense.'"

"That said, she is communicating with the animals on some level."

Re: Creature Quiz, 1/26

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Lisa flies through the multiple choice, although she makes a few technical errors in her efforts to over-achieve, so she gets an A- -ish.

Paige signs in.

Re: Creature Quiz, 1/26

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige gets all the multiple choice questions right, it might be through sheer luck.

She also does reasonably well with the translations, she's better with it written down than spoken. A

Paige watches the video, wondering if this woman is for real, however given the fact she learnt Cat last semester she's inclinded to believe it to some extent.

"Maybe you should release a DVD sir?" she suggests to Dream

Dream shrugs, a bit bemused by the idea. "It is a thought."

Victor signs in, also in a collapse-y manner.

Re: Creature Quiz, 1/26

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor had some trouble with a couple of the questions, and probably messed up some of the Dragon translation. If he was lucky he got a B or B+.

Xander actually did pretty well with Dragon in class, but he was a little distracted by thoughts of buying a hat, for some reason this morning. Plus he never did really manage to figure out the dipthongs in Spider. Or what a dipthong is. B-.

Re: Creature Quiz, 1/26

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake takes the quiz. He doodles on the question sheet and answers the multiple choices more or less randomly. He does well on the translations, however, even if his grammar isn't perfect. B+/A- grade-y.

"Maybe we could get her to talk with Pup," Victor leaned over and suggested.
