----------------------------------------------------

Chewing her bottom lip, Isabelle eyed the students as they worked. They certainly seemed to be enjoying it *snort*. Maybe she should move onto something else they can do? Sighing, she moved over towards the blackboard and cleared off all the writing that was already on it. Scribbling with the chalk, instead this time of using magic for it, she wrote out another set of instructions.

Turning her attention back to the class, she cleared her throat to get their attention. "Those of you that wish to continue practising, please do so. The rest of you - I want to know whether your compasses work, and if you concentrated enough on the spell to get an accurate compass." Grin. Oh yes, it wasn't just an appearance thing. If their needle was wrong, or their letters in the wrong places, this wouldn't be successful for them. "So this is a little task to complete before I finish the lesson."

"I am going to set up a walled grid at the back of the room to make this fair - don't want you all to just copy what the person next to you is doing. Each compartment will have enough space for you and your desk and chair." Isabelle stopped and looked at the kids to make sure they were paying attention, or if she wasn't making sense and they had questions. "Don't be alarmed when the walls go up. You will be able to move out of them, but you WON'T be able to see anyone around you. If you wish to do this task, please write down ALL the instructions I have placed on this board, soon you won't be able to see them."

Checking that they had all made note, as she asked, Isabelle went about setting up the classroom. With a flick of her wand several walls shot up, concealing a few of the desks at the back of the room, but leaving some near the front open. "Please make your way to the front if you wish to continue practise, and to the one of the cubicles if you want to do this task."

OOC: The classroom now looks a bit like this, for anyone that wants to know.

SPOILER!!: CLASSROOM LAYOUT

She gave them all enough time to move around as they chose, clicking her tongue against the roof of her mouth as she waited.

"Right then, those of you that are doing this task please find North and turn your desk to face that EXACT direction. If your compass is correctly transfigured the red arrow should point to magnetic North. Then please take out a separate piece of parchment, and WITHOUT drawing the compass lines on it, please follow the directions I gave you before to create the image I'm looking for." She knew what it was, but she wanted to see if they could read their new compass, and get the lines going in the right directions. "Use your compass to get your bearings on the paper. Once you have finished, just give me a shout and I will get rid of your cubicle walls. You can start, please."

OOC: If you don't want to do this, and just keep practising instead, that's fine. Everyone else - I will take a hand drawn diagram, or one done using a graphics program.

I'll post what the image should look like later when people have completed theirs. And if you have ANY QUESTIONS, don't hesitate to ask me or Isabelle!

Oh, and please try not to copy any pictures anyone else posts first.

*snuggles you all*

Well that kinda answers his question.

Looks like he has to test it himself.

After noting down the instructions, Salander proceeded towards one of the walled cubicles with writing materials in one hand, the transfigured clock-compass in another. Truthfully he was grateful for the privacy, because directions arent his thing. Yes he is one of those dependents on the GPS system. Not that he's gonna admit that out loud. And thats if he even remembers use it when its hanging right above his head.

Settling into a desk, he began squiggling a few lines and looked at his parchment-- it resembled like some kind of bow tie or a really squarish fish. Is that right? He tried again and his next attempt was starting to look like a pine tree when he stopped suddenly, crumpled up his parchment and re-read the instructions. Couldnt they have transfigured something into a GPS system? It will be helpful for everybody-- Muggles and Wizardkind

Heaving a deep sigh he read the instructions for the nth time when he realized something-- his table wasnt turned around to face north. "Huh...." well no duh. He dragged his table around-- now it was facing where the red N was. He took out a fresh parchment and started drawing again, pausing on each and every step.

When he was done he leaned back into his seat. Well would you look at that....
