"I'd like to start today by saying that you've been a wonderful group and I've enjoyed learning about this subject with you," Steve said. "Today you'll be glazing and firing your projects. Or rather, you'll be glazing them and I'll be taking them to be fired, since the process takes longer than this class and we don't have a kiln. You can pick them ~~handwavily, if you choose~~ up during my office hours next week--they'll be on Wednesday. I hope that works out for all of you. Anyway." Steve briefly ~~and handwavily~~ explained how glazes worked, and what was available, and let them go to it.

"Good morning," Steve said. "I hope everyone had an uneventful and peaceful weekend last week and enjoyed your day off while remaining in a safe space," but somehow he doubted it. "Anyway, we're going to move right along and keep working with the pottery wheel. You already know how this works now, so just...have fun, okay? Okay."

Steve had sent out an e-mail (yes, he could use e-mail) last night, letting his students know that class was canceled for today. If anyone showed up, they would find the room dark and a sign on the door saying GO BACK TO A SAFE SPACE.

He'd considered adding something about not trying to be heroes, but he'd basically given up on that with this student body, at this point.

"Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to get...just a little more advanced. Not much. Don't panic. Meet...the ~~plottery~~ pottery wheel." Steve proceeded to explain how the wheel worked and basic ~~plottery~~ pottery wheel technique. He did not, notably, attempt to demonstrate. "So. You each have a wheel. Use it. If you mess up, don't worry, it's clay. Just remold it into a lump and start over."

"Good morning, everyone," Steve said. "Today we're going to work on making a coil pot. This is, again, something humans have been doing for thousands of years, so. Shouldn't be too hard." One corner of his mouth turned up. "Famous last words, right?" Steve walked them through the process of rolling out a snake of clay and coiling it into pot form, and then left them to it. "Have fun, guys."

((Sorry this is so horrendously late! My internet access has been like, "LOL no," for no apparent reason. But it's working now!))

There was clay out, and Steve looking slightly nervous. He was in uncharted territory, for him, here. "Good morning, everyone," he said. "Today we're going to be making a basic slab pot. This is a very simple form of pottery, one that's been around for thousands of years, so...we're going to give it a go." He proceeded to explain how it worked, going through step-by-step, and yes, he had learned how from the internet. He was pretty modern that way sometimes.

"And then," he wrapped up, "of course, you can customize your pot in whatever way you see fit. We'll save firing them for another day. Have fun!"

"Good morning, everyone," Steve said once his workshop had gathered. "I'm Steve Rogers, and this is...Pottery-Making 101. I have to admit I don't know much about pottery-making, but that's fine, right? We'll learn together." He wasn't entirely sure how he'd wound up teaching it, to be honest, but these things would happen at this school, and he was the art teacher. "So, okay, this routine is going to be pretty familiar, guys. Introduce yourself. Name, grade, something about yourself. Then, you each have a lump of clay. This week just play around with it, get a feel for it. We'll actually do things with it next week. Sound good? Good," Steve said without waiting for their response. If it didn't sound good, well, they would have to live with that.

Grissom is in a shockingly jovial mood. He's even rocking a costume and has candy (without bugs) for his students. Must have some good Halloween childhood memories buried somewhere.

Criminology

Here is the study guide for your midterm exam. [it will be an 'essay question', but feel free to study/stress]

To review, in class today I would like you to discuss one thing you have learned in this class so far, and how it either surprised you, or changed your mind in regards to a certain topic. If that is not the case in any aspect, why not?

Death and Dying

Discussion: Your homework was to Choose a death by suicide from Shakespeare's work, and share a short reaction to it. Please do so.

Your midterm exam will be on Wednesday! It will be an in-class essay, in a similar vein to the homework you are turning in. Using what you have learned in class, and moving on to our accidental death chapter, please analyze A Darwin Award Winner or Honourable Mention. You may bring in notes on one 3x5 index card.
