Advanced Journalism (Wednesday, March 29, 3rd period)

"All right, ladies," Rita said. "We're going to start work on one of our big projects this semester. I understand that last semester, you did a largescale project involving an article on a fellow student, yes?"

She smiled. "Your final this term will be similar, but doubled. I want you to interview and profile a good friend. You'll be allowed to leave campus, need to take photos, everything you did last term. And then, as a contrast, you'll need to interview a person you do not know as well, and do the same. This will be expected to be a large, well-done project, which is why I'm telling you so far in advance. Questions?"

Jaye takes a seat.

What? She's totally in this class.

Molly got there shortly after Jaye and sits near by.

Jaye looks around at the so-far empty classroom. "Slackers," she says. And pulls a plastic baggie of microwave popcorn out of her bag, offering some to Molly.

Molly looked around as well. "Totally," she agreed.

"Oh, popcorn," she said and took a few pieces. "Thank you."

That was when Rory walked in.

"This is sad," she said, sliding into her seat.

Jaye offers her popcorn.

Rory totally takes some.

"He was a koala yesterday," she says, holding out the camera so Jaye and Molly can see.

"Awwwww!" Jaye says, looking at the picture. "Why didn't I show up yesterday?"

"I don't know, but he was wee!" Rory said. "And he clinginated to her leg? And I fed him a cookie. Oh, and he vomited on her but he does that a lot."

Re: Discussion/Questions/Rita-annoying

[fates_jaye]

"I bet he eats more before class on purpose, just to do that," she says seriously.

Re: Discussion/Questions/Rita-annoying

"Probably. And I don't think it helps that I feed him," Rory said. "Did Xander send you the email, omg?"

Re: Discussion/Questions/Rita-annoying

[fates_jaye]

"Omg, I did," she says. "And yeah, I'm thinking he's kinda right."

"Professor? I have a question."

Re: Discussion/Questions/Rita-annoying

Rita grabbed her wand possibly preemptively.

"What?"

Re: Discussion/Questions/Rita-annoying

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Whoa," John says and holds up his hands. "Honest question. Due date. When's this due? Is one part due before the other?"

Re: Discussion/Questions/Rita-annoying

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"They'll both be due on April 25," Rita said, still holding her wand.

Re: Discussion/Questions/Rita-annoying

"Can I do some extra credit?"

Re: Discussion/Questions/Rita-annoying

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"Possibly."

Re: Discussion/Questions/Rita-annoying

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"A little side report about my time as animals?"

Re: Discussion/Questions/Rita-annoying

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"No."

Re: Discussion/Questions/Rita-annoying

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Why not? It's a valid report!"

Re: Discussion/Questions/Rita-annoying

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"It's not related to the topic."

Re: Discussion/Questions/Rita-annoying

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"That's why it's extra credit," John says. "And it's journalistic in nature. It's a human interest story."

Re: Discussion/Questions/Rita-annoying

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"Fine."
