 Transfiguration III and In-Class Final
Set-up as it has been the majority of the term, the desks are once again along perimeter of the room. A large section is, however, roped off, and houses numerous small trees in pots, as if that corner were a forest of sorts. In another section of the room, large piles of large leaves. about the size of a grown man's hand, as well as gnarled, knotty branches three to four feet long and thick as a baseball bat, lay piled up.
The board at the front of the room simply reads the following: Quote: Class Agenda:
New spells
In-Class Final exam
Please take one branch and one leaf from the pile back to your seat. Professor Kingsley stands near the door to greet you, and direct you to take a seat.
ooc: There will be full participation points for class practice, etc as in a normal lesson AND additional final exam points once we move into that section. We have moved on to the Final Quote: Preston wandered the room, nodding at the good work the students were doing.
"You may keep practicing, but we are moving into the portion of our class that will count toward your exam. You will need to leave your belongings, except you wand, at your seat."
Flicking his wand at the board, the instructions wrote themselves: Using the spells we learned in class, protect yourself from the elements, create shelter, and generate heat. You may also use other spells you know, but remember that you are being graded on how well you demonstrate your ability to use the spells taught.
The following can be found through the room for your use:
A cluster of potted trees, sturdy enough not the bend if needed for support. You may break off twigs from their branches. Worms can also be found in their soil.
A pile of knotty, gnarled tree branches: wet
Scraps of fabric about the size of a scarf
Shoelaces
Vines Another flick of his wand to activate charms that had been placed before class, Preston changed the room, significantly. The room has been charmed to resemble outdoors in early winter. The floor is muddy and some parts are covered with snow. The air is cold and moist, as if it might rain at any moment. For safety, the room has been charmed to prevent stray fire.
"You may continue your practice with temran madera and palus, at your discretion given the change in conditions, before moving onto the final. There will also be a written assignment to complete after you build your shelter that you may owl to me. Once you begin working on your shelter, please, no collaborating with others. When you have completed your final, you may leave."
ooc: Take your time moving onto the final, but please do not post practicing AND your final in the same post. You can finish your final in one post if you'd like, or you can use several. This thread (and the final) will close at 9pm EST on Sunday, November 21st (one week and one hour from right now). This portion is worth 25 points and the written (posted on the Transfiguration notice board) is worth another 15. |
