World History in a Nutshell

The classroom is dimly lit and there's a projecter set up to a laptop.

"Good morning," says Daniel, beaming all around. "Today, we're going to be touching on Ancient Egypt. There's packets on your desks with information about mummies and health and --" His face clouded and he frowned slightly. "gods. You can look at all that in your leisure, but first, I'm going to talk to you a bit about my dig in Egypt this summer."

Daniel has a power point presentation and everything which would have been done had the mun not fallen asleep yesterday. It's mostly pictures of sand. And more sand. And yes, you guessed it, sand. Daniel's highly enthusiastic about it, however, as he babbles on quite happily for half the lecture.

"Okay, for the second half, I apologize to those of you who aren't used to computers and also to those who took Egyptian archaeology last year, as you'll have already played a couple of these games. There's a choice of three to play, so have fun and talk to me if you have any questions or need a hand."


Build a pyramid

Make a Mummy

Death in Sakkara


[[ooc: Huge apologies for this being so late up; work and calling schools got in the way this morning and I wasn't at all functional last night to get it up then like I was planning]]

Molly took a few notes, but she was more often just doodling in her notebook. It looked like she was taking notes though. If you didn't look at her notebook, that is.

Chad scribbled down the notes that seemed important:

Sand.

Sand.

Hey. More Sand.

Sand that is slightly more yellow.

Sand that is slightly more brown.

There is a snake in that sand.

Pyramid? Nope. More sand.


But he's footnoted the important notes with things that resemble other notes that might actually have some significance.

Molly started with the mummy game since she had played the other two in class last spring. Oh, yay, she lost two lives, but did get it right in the end.

Evie is trying to write down everything new at once, because she didn't know all those things about the Incas, although the mummification process is old hat, and it's all so interesting, and finally she has to ask, "Dr. Jackson? Do you think it's possible that, maybe, there could be an archaeological site on Fandom Island? Perhaps? Only I heard there used to be pirates here...."

Broots continued playing the games until he got perfect scores. He spent the rest of his time trying to find the source code for them.

Jim was trying to figure out who to copy notes off of, his roommate or Evie. He waffled for a while before scootching slightly closer to Evie and trying to stay awake in class.

Jim's own notes may have indicated that he has had it with these [expletive deleted] snakes in this [expletive deleted] sand.

Jim approached after class wearing his 'talking to teachers' face. "Excuse me, sir."

"Yes, sir. Jim Ellison." He looked a bit sheepish. "I'm sorry for missing class last week, sir, I was sick."

Yes, because that sounded like a barrel of fun.

"I think I can get the notes off my roommate, thank you."

Evie looked up and saw Jim, then hesitantly smiled at him. "It's really not that bad, is it?" she whispered.
