Literature 101- Thursday- 4th period
The students would be reporting to a regular classroom today, which was probably a good thing because no one wanted to see Jess try and work the Danger Shop.
If you wanted proof of this, the proof was that she was totally in front of the class dressed like Mark Twain. She'd worked really hard on her costume, too, even if she probably looked a little more like COlonel Sanders. She even spoke in an old-timey man's voice when she began, "Hello, students! And welcome to Literature 101. I'm Samuel Clements, AKA Mark Twain, and I'm here to introduce you to a wonderful journey of books and classic stories!"
Jess paused for dramatic effect, and it didn't actually matter if she was bombing with the students or not. She did, however, pull off her white wig and give the students a big smile. "Just kidding!" she said, like anyone had to be told that. "I'm Miss Day, and welcome to class. While we're here for the next semester, we're going to go over a few classic books a couple weeks at a time. If you've already read something, that's totally fine. It just means you can help us out more in discussions!"
Yes, Jess was that teacher.
She picked up a stack of books on her desk and started passing them out to each student. "Our first book is going to be Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain. You might remember him from earlier." Oh god, Jess. "Now, you only have a couple classes a week here, so there's no excuse not to have this book read by this time next week, and then we're going to have a discussion. Oh, and I should probably warn you, the language in this book is a little rough at parts, because it deals with slavery and some people have issues. So if you think you might have a hard time with it, I have another version of it that you can read. Now. Since this is our first class, I want you to go around and give me your name and tell me what kind of things you like to read."
