Fandom Invasions: A Survival Guide- Friday, Period One
"So," Jono said, sitting on top of his desk and casually looking at the students in his classroom while he clutched a mug of coffee, "you've all survived the semester. Even if you didn't make it through that mess in the maze unscathed, you're still here, and haven't run screaming back home, never to be seen or heard from again. So far as I'm concerned, you've all passed the class, not that I'd actually hand out grades based on your performance in a bloody dungeon, mind."
That would just be tacky.
"Still, I have to confess I'd like to know, since everybody's experiences were different down there, if any of you came out of that mess a little more savvy to what it takes in a crisis situation to get out alive. So, while I won't make any of you just out and talk about what went on down there in front of the class, I'd definitely appreciate it if you'd write down one thing you learned in that pit. If you weren't one of the people grabbed, feel free to talk about something you learned in some other life-threatening experience you've had since coming to the island. I won't be teaching over the course of the summer - I'll be off risking my life like an absolute idiot for the greater good and all - but perhaps if I choose to teach this class again someday, I'll be able to put what you tell me to good use for future groups of students."
A beat.
"And if you absolutely don't want to discuss your traumas, that's perfectly fine, too. Just tell me something you wish I'd covered here in class, and I'll be certain to keep that in mind in the future."

Re: Write!
She'd be able to come up with a whole list of other points she'd learned once she got stuck on her first dig site with pirates banging on the doors.
Re: Write!
The fact that it took thirty seconds and left her the rest of the class to draw schematics for a combination motorbike/spacecraft with fore and aft repulsion-gel launchers on the back of her paper was just a bonus.
Talk to the TA!
Talk to Jono!
OOC!
