Your task is to take care of the pygmy puff you have worked with today in class, whether it is your own personal puff or one belonging to the professor. Take the puff back to the castle with you and take good care of it for roughly the next week (ooc: until the next lesson). You will need to feed it; record what it eats and doesn't eat; groom it; bathe it (if needed); discover its gender; give it some exercise; entertain it; introduce it to other pygmy puffs; and of course observe all of these behaviors in detailed diary entries.

For full credit on this assignment, you will need to record five separate entries, spaced out and posted here, with each diary entry linking back to at least ONE RP post in the school. You have up until the start of the next Care of Magical Creatures class to complete this assignment.

Any questions, feel free to PM BanaBatGirl. But remember, do NOT PM your entries; post them in the above linked thread as you complete them. Good luck and have fun!

This assignment will be worth up to 20 points.

Think of the Egg Journals you had to complete in Charms last year. In this thread (i.e. below this post), you must post your Pygmy Puff Project Diary. Each person should make one post. When you have a new entry, you should edit your post by clicking the edit button on the post you already made.

Title your post with your character's name and the name of his/her pygmy puff. The template below should be used for your character's diary:

Build on the previous and explain how you've been looking after your pygmy puff. Have you two bonded any? Made any progress? Changed any? Be detailed, as you will likely be asked to share these observations in class as well.

This must ALL be completed before the date of the next Care of Magical Creatures lesson, which will obviously be taking place sometime in March (in roughly two weeks). Entries will be graded on the criteria of Following Instructions (3 points), Readability (5 points), Creativity (7 points), and Linked Posts (5 points).

GOOD LUCK!
