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, or drabble 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!]

Cordelia signs in, and at the end of the class, hands in a story about a girl named Carmen who had lost her lover in a tragic accident. She was so filled with grief that her friend, who was secretly a witch (but no one knew), cast a spell to make Carmen travel back in time so she could try to change the outcome of her lover's future. But the witch wasn't perfect, so she accidentally sent Carmen forward in time with no hope of fixing the past, and now with no history from the years that she had lost.
