Slytherin Notice Board

[The1HBIC]

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.

Astronomy Homework

Originally Posted by sweetpinkpixie

There are two options for this homework. Please only complete ONE of them for credit. Doing more will not earn you double the house points. Extra credit is available to outstanding efforts and creativity.

⌦ option one (worth 10 pts)
Using your textbook, pick ONE of the lunar formation theories and write a brief essay on it using your own words.

Your essay should cover the following (at least):

1. The name of the theory.
2. A brief description of what the theory is.
3. Whether or not you believe the theory to be true or not.

Essays should be at least 5 inches in length.

You may include an illustration of the theory you selected along with your essay for extra credit.

OOC: 5 inches is the equivalent of 2 paragraphs of at least 5 sentences each. Remember to keep your writing IC as your character and to NOT just copy paste from an internet source. Same goes for any illustrations you use.

⌦ option two (worth 15 pts)
Tides tides exist in all bodies of water, even the luxurious bathtub in the prefects bathroom, but depending on the overall mass of a body of water this may be so so infinitesimally small it is unmeasurable. At Hogwarts, our largest body of water is clearly the Black Lake. While its mass is nothing compared to an ocean, it is still plausible that you will notice a change in water level over time, much like one of the Great Lakes in North America (although the Moon's effects are mostly overcome by the effect of barometric pressure and the phenomenon known as a seiche).

Your task is to go down to the lake twice a day for a week (once in the morning and once in the afternoon approximately 6 hours and 12.5 minutes apart) and see if you notice any changes to the level of water in the Black Lake by keeping a log parchment. Muggle rulers will be provided outside my office for your use, along with bright orange flags that you can use to stick in the ground to mark the area you are using to make your measurements. I suggest you write your name on the flag so as not to get confused.

Any changes in tide you find should be subtle (most likely only between 0-5 cm), but if you notice something drastic, what do you think could have caused that? Be sure to write your theory down in your tide log parchment.

OOC: Despite the IC task saying twice a day for a week, you only need 4 posts (2 in a "morning TL" and 2 in an "afternoon TL") for full credit - plus possible extra credit for thoughtful RPing.

You do NOT need to RP picking up the supplies from Professor Flamsteed's office but may do so if you wish - just keep in mind this will not count towards your 4 post total.

Flags are about 4 feet tall so your character can wade out into the water a little for their measurements. You have total creative freedom over the measurements your character finds, but there shouldn't be a sudden 10 foot change or anything too dramatic without reason Which your character can theorize about.

You do NOT have to make an actual log sheet unless you want to (possible extra credit if you do though). Just be sure to include the key bits within your posts.

Your RPing should take place in the Black Lake thread and please title your posts "for Astronomy homework" or something similar. PM me the links to your posts along with the other required information when you are done

⌦ this assignment is due May 31st @ midnight GMT + 9

Please be sure you have read through Astronomy & Space Navigation and paid particular attention to the rules regarding homework submission. Late homework submissions will not be accepted. Any questions, concerns, or what have you can be sent to me via PM. You do NOT have to have participated in the lesson to do this homework.

[The1HBIC]

Hey there everyone, it's time to name the house pet. All Slytherin students are eligible to vote.

Charms Homework #1

Now that we've gotten some first class experience with the spell, I want you all to head to the Charms Annexe for some target practice. The only thing you'll need for this is your wand. Inside I set up three different levels of targets, each higher than the last. The row closet to the floor is worth 5 points, the middle is worth 10 and the top is worth 15. To the side you'll notice a self replenishing box of paint balloons. These are the objects you'll be shooting up in an attempt to hit the moving targets. Time it right, I don't want too many balloons hitting the ceiling instead. I suggest you get a feel of their movements before attempting as the targets will not only move horizontally but diagonally and circularly as well.

5 Posts minimum

Due: Sunday, May 31st @ 11:59pm GMT -5

OOC: Just have your charrie shooting the balloons into the air in an attempt to hit the targets. They might have to try getting directly under one or waiting until it's directly overhead. Remember the charm propels things at roughly a 90 degree angle so that's straight up.

[StarShine]

Potions Homework 1

Option 1

Find a partner. Swap your potions and write a paragraph (at least 4 sentences) about your experiences.

The RP part should be at least 3 posts each, excluding finding a partner and drinking the potion.

Option 2

Write 4 paragraphs (consisting of 4 sentences each) about the potion. The essay should include:

• Pick 3 ingredients and analyse their effect in the potion.
• How might this potion be useful?
• How might this potion be used in a dark way?

Due: June 5, 23.59 GMT+1/18.59 EST+1

Please include all the links in the PM.
