Continuing to walk around the room, Nessa noticed that it appeared that many of the students were finished with their preparations and were ready to present their ideas to the class. She turned her attention to the first group.. or rather three groups. And how wonderful.. what started off as a mock Yeti interview turned into a demonstration of a traditional Yeti mating dance ritual which then turned into a skit combining two other group's skits! Simply marvelous! A Yeti family.. a group of wizards in search of potions ingredients.. a group of muggle travelers.. such action, drama, and suspense! She loved it! On her feet, they got a round of applause and beamy smiles from the History of Magic professor. They really seemed to capture.. well, quite a few things.

SPOILER!!: Lucy's presentation

When it was Lucy's turn to present her ideas, Nessa was all eyes and ears for the young Gryffindor. Had she chosen to work alone? She supposed that was just fine, though sometimes it was fun just to bounce ideas off of someone else. Hoping it wasn't a shyness or social issue, she would make sure to keep a better eye on that next time. She beamed at the little lion as she began to sing about a sad and lonely Yeti earning her claps at the end. "Lovely job!"

SPOILER!!: AJ, Angel, Adi, Ian

And then a group of four was up next. What creative little souls they were! Turning her attention to this group of students as they presented their project, Nessa watched intently as they began. A wonderful song with very inspiring lyrics.. along with an interpretive dance.. and costuming! "Wonderful!" They also got enthusiastic applause and beamy smiles.

SPOILER!!: Mo and Maddie

"Proud of you, little buddy. You're a great partner. Are you ready to go up and make our presentation?" He carefully lifted the diorama and carried it to the front of the classroom. He'd just hold it and let Maddie talk, right?

Or maybe he'd talk a little. "So this is our diorama of a genuine yeti cave, complete with baby yetis. The mama yeti is mad protective of those babies, and these campers are WAY too close."

Proud. That was a word the first year didn't hear very often and her cheeks MIGHT have turned pink but if anyone asked, she'd just say it was a trick of the light. Maddison Cooper did NOT blush. "You're great too, Mo. Ready when you are." And he was ready, apparently. She'd let him start them off.

"The campers are ALSO careless because they're falling ASLEEP without putting our their FIRE." The twelve year old's eyes were big as she motioned towards the flames Mo had created. "CLEARLY they never heard of that Smokey the Bear character because they do NOT seem concerned about forest fires or the creatures living nearby." OUTRAGEOUS, right? Was everyone's blood boiling yet?

Maddie glanced over at Mo and gave him a small smile. He was the yeti fan so he could finish them off? She'd just stand there and look CUTE and incredibly SMART.

"Right, right. So the yeti, being perfectly legitimate in its disgruntlement, now fears the terrible flame of the careless camper. When she sees the plushy goretex jackets and colorful tents of the camper, it reminds her of the frightening fire, and she reacts out of fear. Which is perfectly normal and I think you all would react that way too. So in conclusion, yeti aggression is a product of human carelessness and if we'd just leave them alone, they'd probably be much happier and go back to eating mountain goats." The end.

Nessa turned her attention to the next little group about to present - the pair of Ravenclaws she had noticed hard at work earlier. She watched them carry their intricately made diorama up to the room, then listened as they began their presentation of it. "Quite a logical conclusion," she nodded happily as they were finished, then gave them both beamy smiles and clapped for the great job they did, before she got up a little closer to examine the work they had done. Such meticulous care they must have taken to create this. Great attention to detail and the presentation really got to the source of Yeti aggression. "Well done!"

"Great job everyone!" Nessa exclaimed at this mid-way point in the presentation-giving. "You are all really getting behind why Yetis might act the way they do and understanding some of their natural instincts and behaviors." She'd really like to see some more statute breaking ideas as well, but she was pleased with the terrific job she had seen thus far. "Who is next to present?" Brown eyes swept the room looking for the next skit or art project.

OOC - Keep going guys, you're all doing fantastic! If you want to RP actually presenting something to the class, feel free, you don't have to wait for me or Nessa to say something. Otherwise, if you're acting out a skit, keep going if you want.. we see it all ;D Or watch and react to your classmates' presentations if you'd like to. It's all good. I'm going to close this class at about 9 pm EST tomorrow, so that gives you a little over 28 hours left.

SPOILER!!: AJ, Angel, Adi, Ian Quote: Originally Posted by PhoenixStar Adi did such a good job. She couldn't help but to beam from ear to ear. AJ wanted to shout and holler, and jump up and down, but she was supposed to be in character so she played it cool. Once he was done with his song it was her and Angel's cue. There were a lot of people in the class, but she wasn't stage shy. With a look at Angel she skipped her way to the front of the class. "Oh no Mr. Yeti. Why so sad?" AJ looped arms with Angel and the smile she already had on her face got bigger. Ahem. "Why do you have to be a sad Yeti? Why do you have to cry?... There no need to be this sad... We are friends for life. Oh, Mr. Yeti, don't look so sad. Just because you're big hairy doesn't mean you're scary… You love the cold and we think that's bold, that height of yours makes it hard for anyone to beat you in a fight, though fire can turn any situation dire Why don't you put on a smile? Why don't you listen to what I say? There's no need to be down and gloomy We are friends for life." When the song was over, she skipped over to Adi and looped her arm with his. SEEEE, yetis were bad m'kay. How'd they do? Quote: Originally Posted by Harry174 Angel was singing her song. "Why do you have to be a sad Yeti? Why do you have to cry?... There no need to be this sad... We are friends for life. " Angel was totally enjoying herself and she was singing around when suddenly before she could get the last verse done, she was falling over. EEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Angel wasn't sure if Ian had seen her or not but when he had gone backwards he had fallen into her and had made her fall over. "Oh I don't think that was in the script Mr Yeti!!" Angel giggled. And then a group of four was up next. What creative little souls they were!
