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.

[DaniDiNardo]

Charms Homework #2

I hope you lot were paying attention during the little game of capture the fort because I want a drawing done of a memorable scene, whether it be when there were no blue flags left, a point when Gryffindor was leading and red flags were the most prominent, the very beginning when everything was even. Won't tell you what you have to draw but you have to draw something.


OR


I must say I'm impressed at the speed with which most of you learned the spell. Now that you've proven you can change a few flags, I want you to capture places in the castle. Just go around making random items...or stretches of wall into the colour of your house and only your house. No need to change them back, I'll do so after I've done my grading, just send me a list of things you've changed.

5 Posts minimum

Due: Sunday, June 28th @ 11:59pm GMT -5

OOC: Choose only ONE option. Doing both will not award you extra points and I will not grade either.

If you choose to do the drawing, you simply have to use a image editting software such as paint, gimp, photoshop etc to draw the ditch they were in and add some flags then colour them accordingly as was the scene during class when the teams were divided and there were flags everywhere. As stated they can choose which colour was most prominent or which part of the battle they are depicting. You cannot simply take an image off the internet and hand it in as is.

If you do the RP then you absolutely must send me the links or I won't know where to look for them. For IC purposes you CAN write out an actual list of places/things you changed but ooc the links will be taken as the list.

Long-term Assignment

Homework One

[Jessiqua]

Potions homework

Complete the Wolfsbane Potion you have started during class. Use the potions laboratory. You can work in pairs, but do not combine the potions in the cauldrons. Keep brewing your own potion.

You can find the whisked Runespoor eggs on the desk in the laboratory.

Text Cut: Full recipe

• 1 glass of regular cow milk
• 1 measure of fluxweed (picked on full a moon)
• 1 handful of a tame dog's neck fur
• 14 Jobberknoll feathers
• 7 tea spoons of Armadillo bile
• 7 grams of a well-whisked Runespoor egg
• 7 aconites' roots

1. Heat a glass of milk for 3 minutes on medium flame (seperately)
2. Fill the cauldron fully with water and add the milk
3. Set the cauldron on low flame
4. Chop the fluxweed well and add it
5. Stir 7 times clockwise with a metal stirrer
6. Sprinkle the dog fur evenly (in about 10 seconds)
7. Wait for exactly 7 days (note the hour and minute and do the next step at the exact time and please check the flame everyday. Do not let it go out)
   ----------------
8. Add 7 of the Jobberknoll feathers
9. Wait for exactly 7 days (note the hour and minute and do the next step at the exact time and please check the flame everyday. Do not let it go out)
10. Add the other 7 of the feathers
11. Set the burner on medium heat
12. Add the Armadillo bile one tea spoon at a time
13. Stir 7 times counter clockwise with a metal stirrer
14. Add the Runespoor egg
15. Wait for 7 minutes and 7 seconds
16. Cast 'Recordo'
17. Add the aconite roots one by one
18. It will exude a faint blue smoke

Due: July 12, 23.59 GMT+1/18.59 EST+1 (daylight saving time)

Worth: 10 points (+5 extra credit available)

OOC:

• The assignment is simple as that: RP completing the potion. I added the whole recipe to have it all in one place, but your characters should continue from the 8TH STEP even if you missed the class.
• You need 3 posts for full credit. You can divide the steps as you wish. There is no maximum amount of posts (but please be reasonable).
• Do not RP the last 'faint blue smoke' step and leave it to me. If your character made a mistake you missed, I will have the potion fail even if you RP it so let's keep this clean IC.
• This is one of the hardest potions ever invented, so please be realistic with the outcome.
• You can work in pairs, but remember: every character should brew his/her own potion. The recipe won't work if they combine the potions (not to mention the cauldrons are already full to the brim).
• When you are at the step 14, just imagine there are whisked Runespoor eggs on the desk and RP getting it.
• If you want to have a seperate RP in the laboratory, you can still have it. Just differentiate between the two TLs.
• You do not have to PM me any links, nor is it mandatory for you to title your posts. Just have the whole RP in the potions laboratory.
• I hope you have fun!
• Any questions? You can ask me!

[Lissy Longbottom]

Literally ALL THE HOMEWORK has been posted! Let's go get some points, snakes!

Here's a couple of assignments below!

I will expect at least three journal entries from you describing your observations of their health and progress. You may be as creative as you'd like with these entries, but be sure to include the date of the entry and at least a parchment of length per entry.

Regular visits to your mandrake in Greenhouse Three, as well as checking that they are receiving enough sunlight in the greenhouse and enough water, are mandatory as well. I will collect your journals at our last Herbology class this term.

Any questions? You know where to find me.

OOC:

To receive full credit on this assignment, you need to do at least one IC post in the Greenhouses where you can RP checking on your mandrake and watering it/sketching it/writing your journal entry/etc.

THEN, you need to actually write out the three journal entries (each should be about a paragraph) and submit those on the homework questionnaire along with the link to your Greenhouse RP post. Be sure you include your character's name, your member number, and your House too.

You do NOT have to do a sketch or do anything crazy-fancy with these, but I do give more points for thinking outside the box and being entertained by your posts! So have fun with this! Remember that in your journal entries, your mandrakes will be growing, getting feistier, acting like rowdy teenagers, developing acne, and toward the end, trying to move into each others' pots! Hehe. I know Bunz said you have three months to complete these journals, but my next lesson is scheduled for July 13. So I need your homeworks by 11:59 PM EST on July 12.

To sum, that's

• one post in the Greenhouses
• three journal entries, each a paragraph long, spaced out over the course of the three months
• submit Greenhouse RP link + three journals + member ID on the homework questionnaire

Thank you, luffs! PM me with questions.

History of Magic Homework Two

Invent your own Wizard Game!

Option One: If you were unable to finish creating your game in class, write an essay detailing your game. This should include the object of the game, the rules and summary of the game, how many people can play, a description of what is needed to play the game, the magical component included in this game, etc. You should also include what makes your game fun or appealing, and why you think it would or would not be a game that would stand the test of time.

This should be completed in at least three well-written paragraphs (5 sentences each) and PMed to me.


Option Two: Play your newly created game with a friend. This should be completed in three RPed posts and should include a description of how your game works somewhere in those posts. Remember that your game must include some magical element. PM the links of your posts to me.

⌦ option one (worth 10 points)
Create your own mystery box and leave it somewhere around the castle for someone to find and, potentially, open. Contents of the box is entirely up to you, but absolutely NOTHING malicious in nature.

OOC: This is an RP assignment and requires a minimum of 2 posts to be considered for full credit: 1 post dropping the box off somewhere in the castle and 1 post revealing it's contents to the person who opens it. While the prompt implies this should be done "by chance," please do not feel like you have to leave an open post and cross your fingers someone grabs it. You CAN ask a friend or use the School Chat to ask for someone to come play

Please PM me the links to your posts as well as the posts of your RP partner.

⌦ option two (worth 15 points)
Write an essay judging whether or not the seemingly inherent human “need to know” is appropriate justification for the exploration of space. You may disagree or agree with what I have proposed in class. Just be sure that, if you do disagree, make sure that you explain very clearly why you disagree. Your essay should be at least 5 inches.

OOC: 5 inches equals about 3 paragraphs of at LEAST 5 sentences each.

⌦ extra credit (worth 5 points)
In the endless potential that is outer space, we have only begun to scrap the surface of things in our course studies. What ELSE would you like to explore in class? What topics interest you? What sort of things would you like to see and do? What potential do you see for Hogwarts' Astronomy?

OOC: Been a while since I have done this, but one of the fun aspects of holding lessons is touching upon topics that YOU, the fantastic RPers of SS, are interested in. So just let myself and Airey know what those may be!

⌦ this assignment is due July 25th @ 11:59 pm 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.
