SPOILER!!: Acitivity

Looking at his watch, Norman saw it was about time to move on, and he addressed the class, “Great job on your skulls so far! If you need more time to decorate, you can come back to it in a minute. For now, eyes here.” He paused a moment to give the students time to pay attention.

He picked up one of the plastic skulls from his desk and continued, “Once you have your skulls decorated, you’ll need to conjure your pumpkin. First step is to visualize your intended result - this is where the element of creativity comes in. What color is your pumpkin? How wide is it? How tall? How long is the stem? Is it perfectly round? Smooth? Bumpy? Sort of lopsided?” Those were just some examples.

“When you have your concept in mind, cast the spell by making this wand movement - pay attention! This one’s a bit tricky,” he said, demonstrating in the process. “Upward curve to the right, downward curve to the right, U-shape, upward curve to the left; then say, Melofors. If you’ve done this correctly, the spell will emit an orange light.” Just in case, he drew a diagram of the wand movement on the board behind him, along with the following information:

Aiming his wand at the skull, he made the wand movement and cast, “Melofors!”Bright orange light shot from the tip of his wand, and soon there was a pumpkin, long and narrow with a red-orange color, concealing the skull in his hand. He set the pumpkin down and picked up another skull, just in case anyone missed the first demonstration. “Melofors!” Another pumpkin, this one short and round with a bumpy texture and a leaf stuck to its stem, appeared.

Setting the second pumpkin down, Norman said, “You have about twenty minutes to practice Melofors on your skulls, starting NOW! I’ll be coming around to help you; just raise your hand if you have trouble.”

[COLOR="Black"]OOC: Main activity part 2!

For this part, your character needs to practice casting Melofors on their three skulls. Partner/group work is allowed but not required. As always, catching up is allowed. I’ll be posting periodically throughout this part, so if your kid needs help, please indicate in the title of your post. The final part of the main activity will go up in 36-48 HOURS.

Examining her now red skull making it almost look like an apple with its color, she continues to listen as she watches and pays attention to the next part of the activity. Listening to his words, she began to think of what kind of pumpkin she was going to conjure up. Perhaps an interesting one. Perhaps something plain...I think we'll go with a unique sort of pumpkin...orange...and green...stem...a little longer than usual...and nice and smooth.

SPOILER!!: The pumpkin she is picturing

Watching his movement with the wand, she practiced a couple of times after watching him making sure she got the movement down nice and easy. She nodded and then looked at her skull. Holding her wand in her hand, she began to move her wand in an upward curve to the right, at first, followed by downward curve to the right. Ok...so far so good. She then did a U-shape followed by an upward curve to the left as she looked at her skull then says with a bit of confidence, "Melofors!" to the skull.
