OPTION #1 : written
What human rite of passage or tradition (wizarding or mundane) would you pick to have centaurs participate in to learn about your species and why? 5 inches.
OOC: two solid paragraphs
OPTION #2 : graphic
Create a public service announcement by means of poster making to promote magical cooperation between our two species. Use what you learned in the seminar along with what you know of history as the basis for your illustration.
OOC: original hand drawn and digital artwork is acceptable
Only do ONE of these two options for credit. Doing both will earn no more more credit than doing just one but will impress me immensely.
Due: Thursday, November 12th @ 11:59 pm Eastern Time
this assignment is worth 15 points

Was it the same as practicing the charms in class? Did you freeze? Did you work better when you had something to protect? Write a paragraph (five sentences) detailing your experience in protecting your fort.
Second Part: Choose a charm and list three ways in which it can work as a defense and three ways in which it can work as an offense.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to meet with me after class or drop by my office.
OOC: Hello! The homework is pretty straightforward, but if you have any questions VM or PM me. ^__^ It is due on Friday, November 5th @ 12 PM, GMT -6. (:

Now try playing with these things (posture/form, wand movement, pronunciation, focus etc.), For example; try it with good form/posture and good focus, but saying it incorrectly. Try saying it correctly with good form but not focusing etc. See what happens and reflect on the activity by answering the questions below.
Question 1: Why is focusing on a spell so important? What are the results if poorly done?
Question 2: Why is the correct pronunciation of a spell so important? What are the results if poorly done?
Question 3: Why is correct form/posture and wand movement so important? What are the results if poorly done?
Question 4: How can you improve your spells by using the techniques we practiced in class (stretching exercises, verbal and focus exercises)?
OOC: Homework Due in 2 weeks (Saturday 14th November at 11:59PM GMT). Please read the guidelines regarding homework submission.
Your activity post only needs to be one well formed post, however if you would like to do more than one post, go ahead. You can work in groups or solo. If you have any questions, please PM me.

The Gobstones Championship Match this season is between the Slytherins and Hufflepuffs, and it starts tomorrow! You won't want to miss out, so put on that face paint, wave those house flags, and come cheer your classmates on in the stands because this match is going to be out. of. this. world!
Good luck to all and see you there!
OOC Announcement: The match will last approximately 6 days, November 12th - 17th. The Gobstones Rules have been revised, so please read and re-read ALL the rules before posting in the match or viewing area.
For those who want to watch, stands have been set up along the Tournament Hall. Don't worry Duelers, you won't be able to hear or see your fellow classmates, so there is no worry of a distraction.
------------------------------ OOC: Each duel must be completed by no later than November 20, midnight GMT-6 (OOC).
Also, if for some reason you cannot complete or start your duel, please let both me and your partner know. We will work something out.
Note that magic points have been reduced during this duel. This is, yet another trial run, as first duels seemed to have a bit too much magic

Love potions cause infatuation and therefore the drinker is very open to manipulation. Yet, they aren’t banned by the Ministry. Why do you think that is? Explain your thoughts in detail whether you think they should be banned or not.
Discuss the ethical side of love potions. Can there be a legitimate reason for their use?
Perhaps the biggest joke of the world is that Lord Voldemort was the child of a marriage that was sustained only with a love potion. Do you think that affected his personality and in the end, his actions? Why? Why not?
Length: Except for the questions #1 and #2, the answers should be at least 3 sentences long. There isn't a maximum limit. Due: November 28th, 23.59 GMT/18.59 EST Worth: 15 points
so for the Potions homework now, we're not gonna test the love potions. But well... it doesn't mean you're not up for this? Come on, Lions!

The seed you have received in class will grow into a healthy adult tree if you give it the right care and concern. For homework, each week for five weeks, I would like a picture of the seed's profession. Hand drawn, preferably. Yes, this first week counts. By the fifth week, it most certainly will not be a full grown tree, but it will be more than a seedling, obviously.
OOC: Five pictures, one from each week. You can draw them by hand, draw them digitally on the computer, whatever, as long as it is YOUR OWN WORK. These Gravity Resistant Trees are based off of aerial root trees, so if you want to take a look at those, yes! <3 SORRY THIS IS SO LATE AND I AM A POOPY. >.<
⚘ Extra Credit ⚘
Worth: 5 points
This is silly. Write me a story, at least ten sentences long, about Gravity Resistant Trees! Be creative! Make a character, PERSONIFY THE TREE! I don't care! I want to laugh, I want to cry, I WANT TO FEEL.
OOC: I think Paul says it all^^ Lol.
This is due December 1st, 6AM GMT (so...my TZ, December 1st 12AM CST)
Students MAY challenge dueling Professors (Cosgrach, Moxely, MacLeod or Dakest), however these duels do NOT count towards Tournament standings and are purely for FUN/challenge. These duels, as such, should NOT take precedence over the student duels, so please make sure if you sign up you have time for both
Please PM/VM Tazenhani if you would like to duel a Professor.
For those who want to watch, stands have been set up along the Tournament Hall. Don't worry Duelers, you won't be able to hear or see your fellow classmates, so there is no worry of a distraction.
------------------------------ OOC: Each duel must be completed by no later than November 30, midnight GMT-6 (OOC).
Also, if for some reason you cannot complete or start your duel, please let both me and your partner know. We will work something out.
Note that students MAY challenge professors to a duel, for this 'final round'. However, such Challenges do NOT contribute to your standing in the tournament. They are for fun/challenge only. Please do NOT let them take precedent over student duels. If you wish to duel a Professor, please PM Tazenhani
Also, if you participated in the DADA Class #2 and the homing spell, you may now use that in your duel
If you have questions, please ask.
