Sociology of Violence: 2nd Period

"Welcome, everyone. Veronica, thank you for covering class last week."

*handwave* Grissom launches into a lecture on Gang Violence *handwave*

"Now, as I mentioned, gangs tend to adopt colors, or other means of identification. For discussion today, I'd like you to describe a gang symbol that you have seen, whether in your life or through the media, and discuss why you believe it was or is used by that group."

Homework: Read Community and Institutional Responses to the Youth Gang Problem by Irving A. Spergel and Ron L. Chance.

Sociology of the Paranormal: 6th Period

"Hello, class. Bel, I appreciate your efforts last week, covering the class. I have also recorded all your grades from the quiz."

Grissom then give Marty a sorrowful look. A C-? Woe.

*handwave* Grissom launches into a lecture on Out-of-Body Experiences *handwave*

"Now unfortunately, I'm not allowed to give you all ketamine or put you through extreme sensory deprivation or a near death experience, so we can't replicate the condition as a lab assignment," Grissom says with a grin, because seriously, drugs are bad and he's obviously kidding.

"However, as out-of-body experiences are far more prevalent than many other types of paranormal activity, if any of you have had these experiences, or know someone who has, I'd like you to share. And if not, I'd ask you to discuss why or why not you believe in the concept."

Homework: Grissom hands out a packet to read for Wednesday. Very. Serious. Reading. Kind of. Also, please bring your jackets and weather appropriate clothes. As long as it doesn't rain, we'll be outside.

[IMPORTANT: For next class, I need you to read this short post and leave a comment there. Please, please. It's going to be fun, and it's very easy! I promise.]

It's not a big plotty thing no, but as Geoff is away Paige is looking after Cash since he's a 3 month old puppy who's going through a lot of upheavel (spelling?) and she just doens't want to leave him alone, I can sort out another dog sitter though cos I'd rather her not have more than one detention given in one day! Otherwise him staying in the office would be good, he's well behaved, and super cute, look! :D

Nah, I've decided Grissom is puppy friendly as it is as the mun is currently in the throes of puppy lust, and I say so, so if Paige explains that situation to Grissom quickly when she comes in, he'll toss her the keys to his office (which has a door in the back to a kitchen/break area behind it) and she could make him comfortable with a little bowl of water and stuff. There would even be dog food, as many of his bugs are fed it! w00t!

And the office isn't a scary as it used to be, now that it is shared with Lorelai, so it would be puppy friendly, as it's baby friendly. All breakable/dangerous/scary living things are out of reach, etc.
