Sociology Courses | February 8, 2006

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!]

Lyta signed in. At the end of the class, as others are filing out, she glanced over her story once again.

...In the instant that she grabbed my hand, I understood.

Valen, the Minbari not born of Minbari, had been human. Transformed by the very same device that would transform his daughter, he became the greatest of them all, a name that was revered throughout Minbari history. But he would begin his journey as Jeffrey Sinclair, EarthForce Captain....


With a sigh, she folded the pieces of paper together, and placed them on the stack.

[Sooo need to go back and watch episodes...]
