Sociology of Violence: 2nd Period
Grissom has set up several stations in the A/V lab. Yup, it's video game day.As long as it isn't something that canon-punctures like Final Fantasy, and it's violent, it's here. *handwave* Duck Hunt to Grand Theft Auto.
"I realized I wanted to discuss media with gang imagery, like many video games, in class, and then I realized that perhaps some of you had never been exposed to them before, or actually played a violent video game."
"So for this class, play in groups or by yourself, and I'd like you to write a short essay over the weekend on what your reactions were to the games."
Sociology of the Paranormal: 6th Period
"I hope you enjoyed your research on time travel. Today, you're going to complete an in-class assignment for me. I'd like you to write me a fictional essay, ordrabble story if you will, in which you time travel.
You won't be graded on your writing skills, this isn't an English class, but by demonstrating you have read the materials and put some though and effort into your attempt.
I have a handout to assist you."
[OOC: Change of plans due to my RL slamming me, and I'm missing needed information from a handful of you to proceed. Next week!]

Re: Paranormal: 2/8
She stood quietly in a doorway across the street from what would be, in another 13 years, The Talon. Nobody really paid any attention to her, aside from the occasional odd glance a stranger in a small town receives. She didn't notice anyway. Her attention was on the flower shop. And on the young couple with the little girl dressed up as a fairy princess - complete with magic wand.
She watched as they hugged and kissed the little one - the father tossing her up in the air to make her squeal with laughter, the mother snuggling her close and allowing herself to be bopped with the magic wand. She couldn't take her eyes off of them, drank them in, wanted to somehow make the moment last forever.
The other woman outside the shop with them grinned easily, hands-on-hips, watching the family's protracted goodbyes. In the end she distracted the fairy princess with promises of a beautiful purple orchid, freeing the parents to head off to the homecoming game. The little one wriggled away from her aunt's grasp to wave at them from the window until they were out of sight.
She watched too, whispering her own last goodbyes.
