Dream sits cross-legged on the desk as students file in.

"This is my last session of this class at Fandom High, and, as some of you know, I will not return in the fall. It has truly been my pleasure and my gift to watch you learn; I can only hope you will carry a bit of this class with you for all your future days."

"You may leave once you turn in your handwavey final projects, or you may use this session to talk to me or to each other, as you wish. I already have papers from Mr. Anders, Ms. Weir and Ms. Fraiser."

See Anders, Elizabeth and Janet's excellent work (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/859192.html?thread=39947832#t39947832) as an example.

Nadia handed in her paper. It's pretty obvious that she's not an experienced paper writer--the whole thing is rather disorganized and seems to follow a semi-stream-of-consciousness style not unlike that of JD Salinger. It gets pretty rambly in the part where she goes off on one writer's style.

But she's also got some good ideas and observations in there, and it's pretty clear that she read the books and did her research. She should probably get something around a C.

Hamlet turns in an essay on some cultural elements of Medieval Arabian culture as revealed by the stories of the 1001 Nights. It's well written and for the most part pretty good, but a little shallow in some areas. You could probably tell that he read the stories referenced and did a little extra research, but didn't go deep enough into some points.
