Journalistic Integrity (Friday, February 17 - 3rd period)
Rita smiled a little wickedly.
"All right. Fun and simple activity today. I would like you each to stand up and tell me one thing about yourself that makes you interesting. What's something that makes you unique, and interestingand possibly famous?"
"Then I'll do quick and simple demonstration of how a writing aid can assist you with wording and thus help you evade being sued. So. Who would like to go first?"
[ooc: Yes, I know we did this. We're doing it again. And there will be a fun and interesting result if you just do what she asks. Feel free to call her on it, though.]
[ooc: How this will work is simple: if you want your character to have the quill with them, go for it. If you'd rather they leave it in their room or something, it won't follow them around. Basically, you can mod the quills as you'd like, with the understanding of the following things:
A) Rita *will* expect them to talk about what they did with them next week. And of course she won't know if you're lying.
B) The quilld write in highly exaggerated, screamingly purple prose, and they make up assumptions based on info provided. You don't have to write out what it writes, if you don't choose to, but it can be fun.
C) They are very magic, and will write on their own, on whatever. Putting them away mid-writing should be a bit of a struggle, but easily managed.
Any other questions, always feel free to email me. And please, have fun with this.]

Re: Discussion/Presentation/Etc.
The acid green quill that students may be accustomed to seeing at this point sprang up on her desk, and began to scrawl.
Barbossa, a clever and fascinatingly moralled student, hails from the high seas. His voice brings news to fair Fandom on a weekly basis, though, bringing an interesting level of anachronism into the picture, it wrote.
Rita snatched the paper out of the air, and pulled something from the drawer of her desk. She murmured an incantation at it before grinning and walking over to Barbossa.
"This is a Quick-Quotes Quill," she said, handing him a bright blue feather. "It's like the green one I use. I've enchanted it to automatically begin to take notes on any conversation you're especially interested in, whether it be your own or not."
She set the paper on his desk. "This is the sort of writing it produces, so you know what to expect. And if you don't have paper with you, it will take notes on whatever surface is available. I want you to carry the quill around with you this week, and then be prepared to tell your impressions of the assignment on Wednesday. Questions?"
