Fandom High School

Lorelai sends the following email to all students in the class.

( READ IT - IT'S IMPORTANT!!!! )

Okay gang, tonight I want you to work with your partner and come up with an advertising plan for your business.

Veronica, since Vala dropped the class, you can work with another group.

If you need any help, I'll be here.


[ooc: i'd like to see some interaction - there isn't any class next week and i'm pretty easy - but this should be fun]

Okay gang - sorry about cancelling at the last minute last week. I had a family emergency come up.

First of all, I'd like to introduce you to Piper Halliwell cookinggeek, my new TA. In the future if I have to cancel class, Piper will have copies of my lesson plans and be able to collect homework, give assignments, etc.

Second - Final Roster for Starting a Small Business

cookinggeek & the4thsister
allie_cameron & lisacuddy
12parseckessel & kawalsky
iwasawesome & not_an_ex_demon

aka_vala has dropped the class, leaving Veronica without a partner. See me after class and we'll figure out how to handle this.

Also - iwasawesome and the4thsister will get detention if they don't show up for class this week.

Third - We're going to start our section on advertising tonight.

[ooc: pretty comments - yay!]

No lecture tonight guys. I have some last minute party plans to make for Rory's surprise party tomorrow. I hope many of you will be attending.

Please turn in your homework from last week (your budgets) and we'll go over them next class.


[ooc: sorry for the late post, mun had family bonding tonight over Pizza & Gross Pointe Blank, ironically enough]

[ooc: sorry for the late post, mun hit happy hour tonight!]


Okay gang... here's the current roster for the class and what type of business you're doing.

( Current Roster )


Tonight's in class project is to come up with a name for your business. Now remember, your name is the first impression a customer is going to get of your company and can be a very important branding/marketing tool.

For example, the Inn that I own is called the Dragonfly Inn. We use the image of a dragonfly in our logo and on many products we sell.

I'd like you to take these papers home and read them for next week's class. They're about different ways of getting financing for a business. We're going to start dealing with budgets next week.

Make sure you sign the attendance sheet.

Okay class - here goes.

Last week I told you to pick a partner and decide on a business. We've had a few more students join the class.

This week, we're going to introduce ourselves and you're going to tell me what kind of business you and your partner are going to create for class.

By the way - this class is strictly pass/fail. If you show up and do the work, you pass. If you miss classes or don't do the work, you fail. And tje decision is going to be made based on your team - not on you as an individual. So if you picked a slacker partner, you better be prepared to pick up the slack.

( Current Roster )

For those of you who don't know me - I'm Lorelai Gilmore-Danes. I own the Dragonfly Inn in Stars Hollow, CT with my best friend Sookie. We may take a field trip to the inn as part of this class, assuming I can get permission from principalconnor to take you off school grounds.

I started working at an inn as a maid when I was 17. I worked my way up the ladder, met Sookie (who's a chef) and we decided to buy our own inn. We've only been open for about six months, but things are going really well so far, which is amazing considering the whole Kirk-running-naked-through-the-inn at the Grand Opening and Sookie's clumsiness almost setting fire to the kitchen twice.

Anyway... please, introduce yourselves and tell me what kind of business you plan to create.


[OOC: 1. All Lorelai's classes are slow played because the mun is too busy for more (and is playing two other characters).
2. For those of you who aren't familiar with Gilmore Girls, Lor is a bit of a flake at times and tends to go off on tangents. She's also a pop culture guru.
3. Having Veronica & Lilly in this class is going to be OH SO AMUSING since they haven't run across each other as of yet.]
