Muggle Studies Class

Today was a relatively low-key day, which involved a lot of reading. But! Fun reading!

The class was asked to read excerpts out of the book, Why I'm Glad I'm Not A Muggle by famed purist author Nicholas Rosier. The book has accounts of when Nicholas had run-ins with some pretty nasty Muggles, and how he was glad to have survived those tragedies, which took a toll on him and the those he loved.

Nicholas's viewpoints, though purist in many ways, are intended to be more humourous than anything and mocks Muggles' way of living. It is clear that he does not like Muggles, in the very least.

Alecto would have asked for volunteers (though she would have avoided calling on known troublemakers, cough cough) to read the excerpts out loud, and points were awarded to those students that read the excerpts with a particular oomph and enthusiasm.

Feel free to make up excerpts from the book, and post reactions to how your character would have reacted here.

IC/OOC: Muggle Studies Dioramas AND Journal Prompt!

Today was diorama show and tell day! Each group was asked to show their diorama off and explain why they had made it the way that they had. There were no obvious consequences for not doing a great job unless there was evident sabotage and/or cheek.

At the end of the class, Professor Alecto Carrow announced the second journal homework assignment. Students are expected to write a short paragraph regarding: “What Life Would Be Like if Muggles Didn't Exist” in their school journals. Students are encouraged over the next week to discuss/write comments on other students' essays to inspire discussion.


OOC NOTE: If you as a player don't have the time to write something like this, we're not going to have Alecto Carrow hold it against your character in game. This goes for all "journal entry homework assignments"! They are intended to be just for fun and plot purposes!

muggle studies class project: dioramas

Alecto greeted the class warmly and asked everyone how they were doing (expecting a chorus of positive answers). After everyone had settled down she brought out a large box (three feet square) and told everyone that they would be building their own version of 'Wiztopia'. They will be making dioramas in their groups. The assignment is due in one week, and they are given 'team captains' to ensure that everyone does the required amount of work.

Alecto would pass out a test that all students were expected to fill out and turn in by the end of the day. 'The results of this quiz determines how well you have done in class thus far.

The time that was not dedicated to the quiz involved reading 'Chapter Two: A World Without Muggles.'

If you have any OOC/IC reactions, feel free to post them! Any student who refused to do the quiz would not be allowed to leave until they had done it.
