Slytherin Notice Board

[Droo]

In the corner of the Slytherin Common Room stands a tall cork bulletin board. Any parchment that touched the cork is magically affixed on it by the self sticking charm it posesses. Here is where you may post class announcements, homework or anything else you think the great house of Salazar Slytherin would do well knowing. And remember...

We're Slytherin, told it's a sin
A House no-one worthwhile's in.
What dung, what rot, what utter tripe
A rather silly stereotype.

Slytherin's for those with brains--
Yet not ashamed to work for gain
Slytherin's for those quite brave
But not to the point of an early grave.

One learns quick and well in Slytherin
How to thrive and how to win.
We're clever, ambitious and maybe mean--
But hey, we get to dress in green.

Cross us and get curse-whacked
A snake never gets side-tracked
We're Slytherin, it's all the rage
Don't stick us in your 'good kid' cage.

You'll think of us as model tykes
But prone to lies, and quick to bite
Let everyone else mutter and glare
We're Slytherins, so we don't care.

Now let's be frank; Slytherin rules
We're the rebel house, the house of cool
Trust only those who are already in,
Too bad all houses aren't Slytherin.

Herbology Homework Three

Task:

After caring for, and raising your Norandola over the last month, you need to consider how it reflects your personality traits. Remember Norandolas develop differently, depending on who or what they have been exposed to. This includes appearance and gender. Your task is to complete the following tasks:

1. Name it.

2. Sketch it.

[x] Can be hand drawn, done in paint or another graphics program. However it cannot be an image taken from Google. That's called cheating.

3. Write a rationale on how your Norandolas appearance reflects your personality.

[x] Please use my example as a guide. The amount I have written is the MINIMUM (if you want full marks).

[x] Remember, Norandolas do not possess the ability to fly, they cannot talk and are not poisonous or flesh-eating (mild toxicity is acceptable). Their APPEARANCE and gender are the ONLY things which will reflect your characters personality. If you disregard these restrictions, your homework assignment will be penalised. No matter how much effort you have put into it.

Worth:
15 points

Due:
Monday 2nd April, 7am GMT

Submit to:
Professor Bentley


OOC: Please read through the Herbology Rules and Expectations in regards to submitting homework. I will NOT accept late submissions. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to send me a PM, and I’ll be more than happy to help you out.

ATTENTION!

The man snaps to, however, as soon as he sees you and offers you a soft smile and a friendly wave. Williamson waits for the rest of the class to arrive and then explains your final. As he is explaining, you notice the corral of new pygmy puffs (on temporary loan from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes) and the buffet table set up near the empty winged horse stalls.

"First of all," the professor starts, "your task today is half practical and half theoretical. You're going to pick a pygmy puff you've never worked with before, select three of the foods for it to eat, and then document your process with discovering whether or not it will eat the foods. You will also describe the pygmy puff in detail and make an educated guess as to its gender, with reasoning behind your guess.

"You last step is a short essay in which you explain how you would go underwater for some reason --- that part is up to you --- and you find yourself surrounded by grindylows. Write how you would handle the grindylows, keeping in mind what we learned about dangerous creatures and the spell we used in our first class of the year. Explain why you would react to a dangerous creature that way. Wrap up your essay and your final with a small conclusion about what you learned this year in Care of Magical Creatures and what you would like to learn next year."

His spiel done, the professor gestured toward the pygmy puffs and then toward a stack of parchment and anti-cheating quills near his stool. "You may begin!"


OOC Directions:

1. Make one post.
2. Label it with your username; your member number; and your character's name, year, and house.
3. RP out the pygmy puff practical portion.
4. THEN, under a spoiler tag, and beneath your RP, write your essays.
5. Your essay portion should consist of at least three paragraphs: one about the pygmy puff's reaction to the foods and your process to discover its gender; one about the grindylow and how you should handle such a creature; and one conclusive paragraph about what you learned/want to learn in CoMC.
6. This thread will close on April 4, 2012. Good luck!

You only have THREE DAYS to complete this final, so GET STARTED! Even if you start a post and edit it when you have more time, that would be worth more points than not posting at all! This final is worth between 30 and 40 points.

GOOD LUCK!
