Potions Lesson 1

The first Potions class will open today Tuesday January 11th and remain open until at least Thursday January 13th. Please file into the dungeon classroom quietly, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING and find a place to sit promptly before class begins. I will NOT tolerate tardiness, rudeness or talking once my class has started. Please familiarize yourself with my rules before attending. I don't want any whining about 'I didn't knoooow' or 'please don't take points off' or 'but my nose was not this shape when we started'. So sit down, shut up and pay attention.

Divination Lesson 1 Homework

Pick one question/activity to respond to:

* Significators: We discussed a bit about signifcator cards in the lesson, mostly considering the option of letting the deck select the crad for us. There's another option for selecting a significator card, however. Either choose a card from the existing deck [you can choose to use the Magician for male or High Priestess for female, or select a court card (Page/Knight/Queen/King of any of the four suits) based on any number of possible characteristics) or you can create your own Significator, as if you were creating an entirely new deck. Whichever you choose, tell me what the card is, provide a picture (if you like, and especially if you create something on your own using Paint or another graphics program), and write six inches explaing why you chose that card to represent yourself.

* Readings: Most of you got the chance to do a reading on yourself or a partner in class, but expand your horizons. Go out, in the castle or the grounds, and perform a reading for a classmate or someone at the school. Write at least six inches explaining who you did the reading for, and what your interpretation was. Tarot decks can be borrowed from me if you choose, and don't already have access to one.

Assignments will be due no later than Feb. 6, 9:30 am GMT (two weeks from now), submissions rules explained here.

Six inches=a good-sized paragraph. At least five or six sentences. And if you choose to do the second option, send links to an RP of you doing the reading, along with your paragraph.

DADA Lesson 1

When: January 24, 2011 at 6 pm EST

Where: DADA classroom

Why: Because I said so.

What else: Read class rules thoroughly before attending. Late posters will lose house points immediately. Do you really want that on your head?

Transfiguration Lesson #1 Homework

Use the watch you were given in class and go out onto the grounds to continue practising the 'Comletia' spell. Transfigure the watch 5 DIFFERENT TIMES, into 5 DIFFERENT DESIGNS of compass - each more intricate than the last. The more detailed the style, the harder you will have to concentrate.

Worth: 10 points

Due: 7th Feb, no later than 2PM GMT.

OOC: Please make 5 SEPARATE posts and include the links to those posts in the PM you send me. Extra credit will be awarded for creativity. You may describe in detail the compass you have made, and also include links in your posts to an image if you so wish. (but no hotlinking images please)

Please refer to this post for how to submit Transfiguration homework

Homework

Find a partner (or two or three, but you'll get the same credit regardless, it's just up to you if you say wanted to help someone out who didn't have a partner)

Using the Chieng Tung sets found in the Arithmancy classroom and lab, ask each other a question and then shake the sticks and draw one of the numbered sticks. Have your partner interpret the result based upon the meanings and vibrations associated with the number.
Make sure you do the same for your partner and give them the courtesy of a reading, as well!

Worth 10 points [extra credit possible for outstanding efforts*].
For credit you should link me to the relevant RP posts and include your username, character name, member ID, and house. Credit will only be given to those who send me the links.
Due: At the start of the second lesson, which is tentatively scheduled for the end of February. But you'll be notified at least three days before the lesson begins =)

*Don't overthink this assignment though. If you're thinking too hard, you're probably doing something wrong. You could just as easily get full marks for two RP posts versus ten novella posts. Just remember: quality over quantity.

Come on, let's keep this points lead! Go Lions!

Points: 10

Assignment:

This is an either/or assignment. Complete one part OR the other for full credit. Completion of both parts will not earn you twice as many points.

1. Put yourself in the shoes of a witch or wizard a thousand years ago, and reflect on current events and the relationship at the time between magical and non-magical society. Write at least 5 questions you would ask someone from this time period (specifically about this topic, please) and then answer them.

2. Consider our discussion in class and reflect on what the term 'Dark Wizard' really means from your perspective. What do Dark Wizards through history have in common? Are Dark Wizards any wizard using a Dark spell? Are all wizards who do evil considered Dark? From your philosophical standpoint, and taking into consideration what we discussed, write at least 2 good paragraphs to cover this topic sufficiently.

If you weren't in class, make sure you read the thread! Lots of interesting and provocative ideas presented. Even if you were...reading it again will help with homework
