Challenge #1
Attention all dueling club members (students AND staff) and all non-member-practice-participants!
The first Challenge of the dueling club has been opened (you can find it HERE).
Please go to the room off the dueling club practice hall for your assignment, if you find yourself either brave of heart or curious of mind.
There will be a reward that will apply to Tournament Duels for completing this Challenge.
Do you want to help your professor a little? All you have to do is pick something from the list below!
Collect ingredients from the greenhouses and grounds (DO NOT GO NEAR FORBIDDEN FOREST!)
Help label the new ingredients in the store room
Help clean the laboratory and classroom
Help redecorate my office (3 posts)*
Help brew some potions
Help another student with potions
Make someone who doesn't like my subject, like it!!!
Motivate me to do some sport*
DO the sport with me (3 posts)*
Do a divination or an arithmancy reading for me and either owl it, or visit me to explain
Text Cut: OOC-please read!
OOC: What is this?
This is this term's extracurricular potions activity to have more student-professor interaction. These are completely voluntary things your characters can do to earn something (points, free potions, books or other).
Two posts per activity will be enough (except those with "(3 posts)"), but you can do more!
Once you are done, you can PM/IM/VM me the posts.
You can work alone, with me (as long as my RL schedule allows it) or with someone else! The ones with a * do need Culloden's active participation, though, and I'll try my best to go by your schedule.
Apart from these, I'll throw random posts at school threads as much as RL allows it. Hope to RP with you!
Take the items from your lunch that you would want to use as a part of a compost(preferably not one we discussed in class ) Do you think they would have more carbon content or nitrogen? And if you used them together in a compost, what would the overall content be, carbon or Nitrogen? Do you think this would make a good compost on its own? Why or why not?
OOC: List five lunch items and guess whether they are carbon concentrated or nitrogen based off of what we went over in class. Those can just be in a list. In a paragraph, tell us if the compost overall would be carbon or nitrogen rich and whether it would be a good compost on its own. These can be PMed me as per my homework regulations.
OR
⚘ Option Two ⚘
Worth: 10 points
Located in Greenhouse #1 (Where we had class) there are enough crates of compost for each student to have their own. Pick a crate, label it with a card provided to you in front of the crate, and begin your work. For this task, you must use either your hands OR the spade next to the crate to dig in the compost and try to decipher what is IN this compost. It was freshly made, so no worries about any decomposition. Write down what you think is in the compost on the index card, and whether the compost is nitrogen rich or carbon rich. And oh, when you’re done—do me a solid and see that bucket of worms in the front of the room? Kindly grab some worms and place them in the compost---oh, and why don’t you water the composts, too, while you’re at it? Please and thank you!
OOC: OKAY so four posts for this to count for full credit. You can make up what kind of compost your character digs in—be creative and have fun! I don’t much care how you separate the tasks into posts, as long as all of the components Paul has asked for are there. Title your posts and PM them to me as per my homework regulations.
⚘ Extra Credit ⚘
Worth: 3 points
Save a few of your every-day wastes in a tin and place them in the recycle bin outside the garden. This will require only one post, but include at least five materials you have placed in the bin.
OOC: Post this post in Paul’s garden, assuming there is a bin there for the containers. <3 PM this post to me along with your homework.
This is due October 28th, 12 AM CST (so, the night of the 27th, but midnight technically the 28th OR 5AM GMT October 28th
Note: Do not do both homeworks. You will not get credit for both. Choose one or the other.

History of Magic Lesson 1 Homework :
Option One: Worth: 10 points
In class we talked about giants, choose a famous giant or half giant from history and do some research on them and answer these questions: What made the giant/half famous? Did they have any special characteristics? (this could be anything from appearance to how they acted) Is there anything else about you chosen giant that you think i should know? Why did you choose them out of all the giants throughout history?
Ooc: Remember to site your sources and write in your own characters words and not just copy it off.
Option Two: Worth: 10 points
Make a picture in paint or using a graphic program of your choice of how your character think a giant looks like. Use the knowledge that came up in class about how big giants are, how they look etc and incorporate that into your picture. Malkins graphics rules apply eg nothing bigger than 450 x 200 pixels in height and width and the weight of the image can't exceed 60 KB in weight and save it in your own image bank.
Extra Credit: Worth: 5 points
Half giants are seen as outcasts and are sometimes even ridiculed by both their own kind and by wizards why do think that is?
And lastly: What would you like to discuss/do in our second lesson of the term?
Note: Do not do both homeworks. You will not get credit for both. Pick one or the other. Extra credit you can do regardless of the option you choose.
This is due latest on October 28th, 11:59 PM GMT. PM all homework assignments to Professor Helena. Further homework guidelines can be found here.
As we discussed in class, there are many benefits to using your imagination. For homework, I'd like you to tap into said imagination by doing one of the following with a classmate:
-Having a dress-up tea party (imaginary tea, of course)
-Playing zoo (pretending to be animals)
-Pretending to be in a rocket and flying off into space (imagine you're an astronaut)
You may use the furniture, clothes, and anything else you've got in your possession to help with this, as well as the props found in the trunk outside Moxley's office! Please return props when you're done!
Due:November 2, 2015 by 10pm EST
OOC:5 posts for full credit! You do not need to RP taking things from the prop trunk. Just pretend you have, if you want to say your charrie used items! Please make sure you're familiar with how to submit homework! <3
