Classics/Foreign Lit, 2/28, Period 2

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream has brought in coffee, tea and juice for his students this morning.

Foreign Lit: Your midterm assignment is to pick one of the works or writers we have studied thus far and write or wiki/Google a 200 word critical reaction. This is due at the end of class Thursday. You may have this class period to begin work.

Classics: As I did last term, we will begin with an oral midterm. You have 20 minutes to review ancient Greek grammar and pronunciation, then please come to my desk one at a time for a brief conversation in Greek.

On Thursday, you will have class time to write a 100 word critical reaction to any piece of Greek literature that we have studied, or a comparable work.

[OOC: The written exams are due for real at some point before the end of spring break; I'll remind you again next week. It's 25 percent of your grade.]

//It is good. I have no stories of horror to tell. How do I stand compared to your other assistants?//

Totally not-loaded question.

Dream considered this.

//You do well,// he said. //You have not taught yet, but you are always responsible within the classroom setting. Perhaps you will teach a class after the break?//

It takes John a second to realise that Dream meant to teach one session of his class, not to become a n instructor at Fandom High. //It is something I would be interested in. It doesn't seem difficult, just...// He waved his hand, trying to come up with the word. //Lots of time.// "Sorry, I don't know 'intricate' or 'involved' or..." Again, handwaving.

Dream nodded. //It is,// he answered. //Stop by my office after the break and we will discuss the details, if you like.//

//Thank you,// Dream answered. //Have you any questions for me, before you take your seat?//

"I, uh..."//Not at this time.//

//Very good, then. I will see you after break.//
