| | Muggle Studies Lesson 3 - The Traveling Carnival
Antonio strolled into the Muggle Studies classroom with a self-satisfied smirk on his face. The term before last had been a tough one on everyone, the students as well as staff, but things were looking better now and he was here to present a lesson they would never forget, well at least not the special surprise at the end. But all that would come later. For now, he was ready to get the teaching part of the lesson over with, then they could get to the other part.
Antonio stepped over to the desk at the front of the room and laid a cover over it which somewhat resembled a mixture of dirt and grass. He then placed a miniature ferris wheel, roller coaster, merry go round and some tiny bowling pins, milk bottles, food and a few other assorted items out the cover for display.
He waited for the students to show up, hoping they would enjoy today's lesson as much as he had enjoyed preparing for it.
Note: Special credit and thanks to *JoshMoonson* for suggesting and help plan this lesson! Workbook |

Oh, good. Nancy really hoped this lesson was going to be interesting. It would be quite a distraction from the other lessons, like Herbology or History of Magic. Her face fell slightly at the thought of these two subjects and a frown crept across her face as she realized that she hadn't even started doing her homework. Meh. Quote:

I just hope class begins soon. After this I have so much homework to catch up on." She said as she opened the book again. "It looks to be a very interesting lesson though."

She said as she read through the book. "I wonder what the lesson plan for the day is."

"Hello, Miles," Antonio greeted. "We are going to go ahead and get started, students. This is a very special end of term lesson, there will be homework posted at the end, of course, but there is going to be something else at the end of this lesson that I think you all might - enjoy." Antonio said the last word slowly, teasingly. So, there are only going to be 6 questions for the lesson part itself, then I'll post the homework and let all of you move on to the other thing." He laughed.
So, I have provided a textbook for each of you. As usual I will award 3 points to the first person who answers the question correctly and 1 point to each person who gets the answer correct after that. All your points will be added in later, as will your homework, of course.
On to the first question. We are dealing today with traveling carnivals, some of you might have heard of those before or maybe even visited one. So, do any of you know exactly what a traveling carnival is? How would you describe it?"

"Dunno."she said, flipping through the book. "Sounds good. I haven't really read any books in the library other than required reading. I have an extensive collection in my dorm. My problem is that I start reading a book and can't stop. I end up reading all night or until I finish the book, whichever happens first." She laughed. "Do you know how final exams will work?" She asked.

Isabella raised her hand and stated. "A traveling carnival is an amusement show that may be made up of amusement rides, food vendors, merchandise vendors, games of chance and skill, thrill acts, animal acts or sideshow curiosities. It is not set up at a permanent location, like an amusement park, and is moved from place to place."

Astrid looked down at her textbook and raised her hand when she found the right information. "A traveling carnival is an amusement show that may be made up of amusement rides, food vendors, merchandise vendors, games of chance and skill, thrill acts, animal acts or sideshow curiosities. A traveling carnival is not set up at a permanent location, like an amusement park, and is moved from place to place."

At the professor's mentioning of the textbook Nancy's eyes fell on the book in front of her and her fingers started to flip through the pages in search for the answer to Professor Dumont's question. Raising her hand she finally said, "Uhm, it's like an amusement park of some sorts and it's moving from place to place." |

Barrys hand shot up he had been to one once well he thought so if he was right. " A traveling carnival is an amusement show that may be made up of amusement rides, food vendors, merchandise vendors, games of chance and skill, thrill acts, animal acts or sideshow curiosities and prety much like a amusment park apart from the fact that it has no perminent location and is moved after a little while hence is where the traveling part comes from" said Barry hoping he was correct ravenclaws were never here

Ross raised his hand and said "A traveling carnival is very much like an amusement park when it comes to the rides but a traveling carnival never stays in the same place forever instead it finds a piece of land were they can set up which is usually a field and leave after a short period of time"
