[OOC: Tuesday was fun. Please, no 300-comments today. Knock about 100 off that total, please? Otherwise, good work. If you have Homework or EC from Tuesday, you can drop it off below. One note about fiction in this class: You can know that when Tick talks about Looney Tunes or Disney, he is talking about a fictional cartoon. Tick's take on it - a take that isn't wrong - is that these cartoons aren't fictional, they're just historical records from another dimension. Question his view to him and he will look at you funny. Class Info Post.]

The Tick stood behind the podium at the front of the class as usual. On the podium was a small plastic figurine of an anthropomorphic, gray rabbit. Lockheed was perched on his regular bookshelf.

"Hello, class! For the next week, we will be focusing on one individual and his relationship with that cute girl next door that we call Justice. This individual's name? Mr. Bugs Bunny." Tick held up the figurine. There may have been a Six Flags logo at the base. "Those of you who had class with me last semester may recognize this rascally little rabbit. He was one of the offenders in the Hunting Season Lecture. He is a busy guy with a lot of enemies, so we have plenty of reasons to talk about him."

"Today we will focus on his relationship with a Mr. Yosemite Sam. ( ACJ Class 2 )

Jenny stood at the front of the classroom. After the students signed in and took their seats, Jenny started today's lecture. She had coffee available at the front for anyone who wasn't quite awake yet.

Dream sits cross-legged on his desk as students arrive. Once they're present, he begins.

"Good morning. I hope you all had time to read the story you were assigned on Tuesday, "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant. In class today, I would like for you to discuss your reactions to the story with me and with your classmates.

We are going to stay in France for a few classes. As homework for Tuesday's class, I would like for you to read as much of Albert Camus' work "The Stranger" as possible; I'm handing out a synopsis and study guide. The book tells the story of a young man whose emotions are judged "wrong" by society, and is considered a classic of the Existentialist school.

I also have a very tentative syllabus for the term, which will of course be updated and altered as class progresses. I welcome your comments on it as a whole.

Creature Languages follows this class, but I will be in my office this afternoon."

A fishbowl-sized terrarium has been placed on Dream's desk, and students who look closely may notice a small brown arachnid within it, crouched between two rocks.

"Hello.

I have decided to start the term with a discussion with a creature who many of you might be wary of, a Brown Recluse Spider. Like all spiders, brown recluses are arachnids, not insects. This means they have only two body segments instead of three; a fused head and thorax (called a cephalothorax or prosoma) and an abdomen (called the opisthosoma), supported by an exoskeleton composed mainly of chitin.

Spiders also have eight legs (insects have six), no antennae, and their eyes are single lenses rather than compound eyes. Additionally spiders have pedipalps (or just palps), at the base of which are coxae or maxillae next to their mouth that aid in masticating food; the ends of the palp are modified in adult males into elaborate and often species specific structures used for mating.

In short? Do not refer to our guest, who you may call Aunt Nancy, as a "bug."

And do not fear her. Brown recluses bite only when disturbed, and she is bold for her breed. No harm will come to you from her."

As he speaks, Dream reaches into the terrarium and draws out the small brown spider. She crouches on his palm, then waves a foreleg.

//Hey there, children.//

"She is greeting you. I will interpret for the duration of class, but I believe you will pick up on her cues soon enough."

"As always, I am in my office after class."

From 4th period on, she sits in her office suppressing the urge to pull her hair out and wondering what on Earth possed her to tell Geoff "Sure, I'll do Symposium!

After she's pretty sure she's stepped over that line between sanity and full-on crazy, she takes off to the teacher's lounge.

Good afternoon, class. Now I get to torture you all by making you all stand up and introduce yourselves to your classmates. This is because I'm ~~sadistic~~ want to get you used to the concept of talking during our discussion sessions. Please give your name and what one thing you'd like to find out in this class.

Your homework, due next Tuesday ~~but to be posted in this post~~ is to pick a topic from the once-optional-now-mandatory reading list I gave you on Prehistoric Britain and Roman Britain and give me ETA a minimum of one hundred ~~Wikipedia~~ words on it. Got it? Good.

[[OOC comment threads are done!]]

[[ETA: OOC: At some point I stopped receiving comment notifications for this post. I'm scanning and trying to jump into discussions. But since I'm trying to foster discussion *amongst* all of you, I try not to jump in everywhere.]]

Josh was tacking a large map of Montana to the wall as his political campaign students filed in. When they had all arrived, he turned around, pointed at Parker and said, "how many days until the next election?"

"Welcome back," he said to the rest of the class with a smile. "Today I'll give you the assignment that will torture you for the rest of the semester." He pointed at the map. "Welcome to Montana!"

He passed around a handout. "This is a quick and dirty first look at the great state of Montana. By the end of the semester, I expect you to be able to bore the crap out of anyone who brings up Billings in your hearing. Because you will be writing the campaign plans for the three candidates running for Senate in Montana in 2006: ~~Conrad~~ Montgomery Burns, the three-term Republican incumbent, and his two Democratic challengers, ~~John~~ Jim Morrison and ~~Jon~~ Bob Tester.

He walked over to his desk and pulled up a list of names. "Okay, on the Burns campaign, we have Parker, Callisto and Donna,"--he pointed at Jake--"On the Morrison campaign, we have Rory, Alanna and Donna,"--he pointed at Angel--"and on the the Tester campaign we have Logan, Jessica, Elizabeth and no Donnas."

( Elements of a Campaign Plan )

"Enough of me talking. Break into your groups. Based on the very, very limited information I've given you about Montana and the discussion we had last class about the national mood, come up with three things that you think your candidate will have to address in this election."

"Your homework, due in my inbox by next class, is to learn about your candidate. I want to know their personal background, their political history, their wives' names, how much money they have in their campaign coffers. Information, folks. Give me some."

Josh waved his hand. "You may now commence in your whining about what a horrible, evil person I am."

[OOC: Yep. This semester we will actually be looking into the RL Montana 2006 Senate race. I've changed the first names of the candidates, but a Google search of the oh-so-stealthily slashed out real first names will bring up the actual candidates. And with time zones being what they are, group conversations in this and all other classes will be open until the next class goes up.]

The P.A. crackles to life as usual.

"You are all very stupid people, and you don't know anything.

One, I am about to call proper authorities to attempt to remove the gremlin threat from our campus. They shall hopefully arrive as soon as tommorow. Miss Halliwell, you may want to think about a new slogan for your campaign. And find a photograph that doesn't make me assume you are hiding weapons in your room.

Two, again a reminder of Doctor House's seeking of blood samples. He still wants them, and you can still give them.

Three, I have a new tie and a new desk. Try not to spoil my good mood.

Four, I am going to pull a name out of a hat tommorow. That student will recieve detention. Random detentions, I feel, will increase the awareness of student discipline and keep behaviour at a maintainable level.

That is all. Resume your daily lives."

[ooc: The Detention lottery, this week, is fixed. The rest of the school year, on Thursday I will put up an OCD OOC thread for people to throw in their names for those selectable for a random detention. Just so we can always have people in detention for those who plan out detention to ~~torment~~ play with.]

SOC: Sex Cultures

"Welcome, everyone. First, I'd like to announce that Miss Cally will be the TA for this course, and Miss Matthews a general TA. Please treat them with the utmost respect, and if you require something from the lab and I am unavailable, please consult them."

"Last class, I asked you to take a short quiz as homework. Although I don't expect you to share your exact results, I would like you to share your reactions to your results. Why do you think you have different results from your classmates? Religion, location, age, gender, class, race, ummm... solar system?"

Homework: Read the packet of articles I have provided. ~~Or look at the titles, anyway. Oh, pretty segue.~~ Remember, some are more academic in nature, some come from more obviously biased viewpoints, but you should analyze them all not just by what they say, but why they say it.

Camulus begins the lecture right away ~~because the mun is going to go bake cookies~~

"Today we will be talking about Arthur before he was Arthur. Much of what is now the modern view of Arthur stems from 'A History of the Kings of Britain', written by Geoffrey of Monmouth in 1167 CE. As his sources, Geoffery of Monmouth named several Celtic documents, including a rather sketchy work that has never been described or proven to exist. These are the main works which have survived:

Gildas, 'On the Downfall and Conquest of Britain' (540 CE): Told the story of a Romanised/Christianised Welsh warrior by the name of Ambrosius Aurelianus, who was in later documents identified as the uncle of Arthur and the father of Merlin.
Bede, 'An Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation' (731 CE): Informs us that Ambrosius Aurelianus was killed at the Battle of Badon Hill (also known as Mount Badon).
Nennius, 'History of the Britons' (800 CE): Ambrosius Aurelianus was killed on Mount Badon while defending his Celtic homeland; this is also the first Latin text to mention Arthur by name.
Unknown author, 'Annals of Wales' (950 CE): Arthur was killed at the Battle of Badon Hill by Medraut (who evolves into Modred or Mordred).

The Battle of Badon Hill is a very important event in the history of Arthur. It occured in approximately 500 CE and was the last stand of the Celts agains the Anglo-Saxons invaders from Germany. While all of these sources clearly say that Ambrosius, who was possibly the model for Arthur, or Arthur himself died at Mount Badon. However, Geoffrey of Monmouth's work very clearly states that Arthur died in 542 CE. In some Celtic myths Arthur also appears, often as a periphery to the story. One rather famous example is the story of Culhwch and Olwen in the epic saga 'The Mabinogian'.

Homework for tonight is to read the story of Culhwch and Olwen.

[[EDIT because mun was busy baking cookies ~~and receiving marriage proposals for said cookies~~ and totally forgot, so just drop another comment if you could:]]

At the end of his lecture, Camulus looks up. "Oh, and Phoebe? If you could collect the assignments from Tuesday."
