"Mrs.--- sorry, MISS Cerulean," she forced a smile upon her face, "why don't you tell the Board of Governors about some of the memorable lessons you've taught in your tenure here? I hear you've done some interesting programming too, exposing the children to facets of Muggle culture from their entertainment interests to their dancing...styles....."
Gemma let out a little giggle at the Headmistress's comment about germs...it took every bone in her body not to go get some Muggle antibacterial gel and offer it to everyone, but then she was distracted by the lady in charge's question, "
Well, I strive to try to make all of my lessons memorable since Muggle Studies isn't always every student's most favorite subject." she said as she walked towards her bookshelf and pulled out three binders. "
These are binders of all of my lessons I've taught over the past few terms..." She set the binders down on the little table in the middle of the seating area.
The professor flicked her wand and each of the binders opened to a different lesson, "
I have to admit that my three favorites..." she started motioning towards the notes and lesson plans in the binders, "
have to be these three." She sat down and took a quick drink of her soda before continuing...giving the guests a few seconds to glance at the three different binders.
"
As was mentioned, I taught a lesson about Popular Muggle Dances and we covered a variety of dances that the students had the opportunity to watch a video of the dance being performed and then they each learned the different dances. They learned the Cha Cha Slide, the Chicken Dance, and the Bunny Hop. The best part was the homework that the students turned in. They had to write their own dance and teach it to someone in the school. Very entertaining to see the students doing crazy dances everywhere they went.!" she said excitedly...she always got over animated as she explained her lessons.
She pointed at another binder,
"I also did a lesson about Proper Dinner Etiquette. It wasn't a specific Muggle lesson, but the students highly enjoyed it and the etiquette they learned will be useful in their lives whether in Muggle or Wizard communities. I served a seven course meal and introduced them to the different courses and a variety of etiquette guidelines to follow." she said flipping to a couple of pages...one was the menu from the lesson and one was a list of the etiquette tips.
"Two terms ago I also taught a lesson about famous Muggle Pirates. The students were encouraged to come dressed in their best pirate attire and took a quiz to find their Pirate Name. It was very fun...we discussed a variety of Muggle Pirates and even discussed if any of them may have been Wizards..." she paused and turned a page in the binder, "
And as usual, the students really surprised me with their homework assignments. They could either create their own jolly roger flag or write a legend about themselves as pirates...they were amazing as you can see here..." she said pointing out the homework that was turned in.
She paused for a few minutes to let everything sink in and reached for a Tootsie Roll.
