Originally Posted by BanaBatGirl As you walk into the barnyard, you might be disturbed by the professor's slightly glazed look as he sits on a stool and stares off into the distance. The man snaps to, however, as soon as he sees you and offers you a soft smile and a friendly wave. Williamson waits for the rest of the class to arrive and then explains your final. As he is explaining, you notice the corral of new pygmy puffs (on temporary loan from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes) and the buffet table set up near the empty winged horse stalls.
"First of all," the professor starts, "your task today is half practical and half theoretical. You're going to pick a pygmy puff you've never worked with before, select three of the foods for it to eat, and then document your process with discovering whether or not it will eat the foods. You will also describe the pygmy puff in detail and make an educated guess as to its gender, with reasoning behind your guess.
"You last step is a short essay in which you explain how you would go underwater for some reason --- that part is up to you --- and you find yourself surrounded by grindylows. Write how you would handle the grindylows, keeping in mind what we learned about dangerous creatures and the spell we used in our first class of the year. Explain why you would react to a dangerous creature that way. Wrap up your essay and your final with a small conclusion about what you learned this year in Care of Magical Creatures and what you would like to learn next year."
His spiel done, the professor gestured toward the pygmy puffs and then toward a stack of parchment and anti-cheating quills near his stool. "You may begin!" OOC Directions:- Make one post.
- Label it with your username; your member number; and your character's name, year, and house.
- RP out the pygmy puff practical portion.
- THEN, under a spoiler tag, and beneath your RP, write your essays.
- Your essay portion should consist of at least three paragraphs: one about the pygmy puff's reaction to the foods and your process to discover its gender; one about the grindylow and how you should handle such a creature; and one conclusive paragraph about what you learned/want to learn in CoMC.
- This thread will close on April 4, 2012. Good luck!
You only have THREE DAYS to complete this final, so GET STARTED! Even if you start a post and edit it when you have more time, that would be worth more points than not posting at all! This final is worth between 30 and 40 points. GOOD LUCK!
