| | |  History of Magic Final
You enter the room to see it has been divided in two with an aisle up the middle and desks on each side, quills and parchment are provided and a podium is at the front of the classroom for you to make use of.
The blackboard has instructions for your assessment written on it. Quote: History of Magic Final Exam Instructions.
Your final is an interactive debate, you need to choose a side to represent, and decide on your stance for the debate topic. You need to make at least three points to support your stance and respond to the points of at least one and no more than three other people. (you won't necessarily earn a better grade for responding to more than one person, or for making massively long posts; it's quality not quantity that is important.)
The subject is: Wizarding support for House- elf rights
You may represent the viewpoint of any of the following (as yourself, but speaking on behalf of one of these);
The office of House- elf Relocation
S.P.E.W
house elves that are happy with the way things are
house elves that wants change
Witches and Wizards that do not support house elf rights
you do not have to choose a viewpoint or a stance that you actually support! ooc instructions;
a minimum of three posts is required for your final, there is no length requirement. Any extra posts will be considered if the first three posts do not earn you at least an A grade, otherwise if it will take extra posts, add a little ooc note at the bottom like so:
ooc: continued in next post.
you may respond to anyone who is not representing the same group as you.
post your chosen group in the title for each post you make
marking is out of 20 points and this is how it is divided up:
first post: /5
second post: /5
third post: /5
extra: /5
- stance shown in posts
- viewpoint is clear
- extra credit for creativity and/or canon support
You may RP your character entering and leaving the exam room, but any chatting will automatically result in a point deduction.
all SS rules apply at all times and always respect other members
To submit your final you do NOT need to PM me with the details of it (since its all right here in the exam thread for me) But if you have any questions at all you are more than welcome to PM me or hit me up on MSN
I'm going to estimate that you guys have 48 hours from the date and time this thread is posted, but I might let it go a little longer, it all comes down to how much time I have for entering your results. 
Final point; don't over do it. Try to keep your posts and answers IC as best as you can, keep your character's age and ability in mind! | |

Lainey's opinion of house elves and her love of animals made her indecisive - she wasn't really sure what to believe. But, after hearing the discussions of many of her classmates, Becca stood up and took her spot.
"Hey. My name is Becca Parker and I'm supporting house elves that want change. I think that many house elves have no idea how much different things could be, but the ones that DO realize things could be different are too afraid to stand up for themselves and flat out tell wizards, 'Hey, this isn't right!' Y'know? I think house elves should have a choice - to work for wizards if they want, or... to not. But they shouldn't be forced to and brainwashed into thinking it's what's best."
She paused to look around at the class. "Yeah, sure, they're helpful and all, but they just shouldn't be forced to do something they don't want to do. Like, if they have a horrible master they shouldn't be forced to stay and suffer! Look at goblins and house elves for a moment. They look sort of similar, right? And maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but they both talk and are capable of doing many, many things! So I say we give house elves a chance and let them choose what they want to do! House elves for change! YEEEAH!"
She thought she was cool.
Herminny turned to Becca and said, "I do not agree, house elves are not brain washed. They feel they want to serve, like that is their place in society and I for one think we should just keep things the way they are cause most house elfs do not express they want change and I don't think it's cause they are scared, I think it's cause most of them like the way things are. And who can blame them, most of them including my house elves get a place to live for free and all that is asked of them is they serve the needs of their house which is often just chores. I am aware this is not always the case but house elves are part of the household and it is never their choice whether they want to be a part of servitude cause they are owned so they don't have the option to leave.
