Monster Monday, Oct. 28th
Quote of the Day:  "Monsters, yeah.  Well that's what I do.  Breakfast, dinner and tea.  Fight the monsters! So this, this, is just an average day at the office for me."  Eleven

Agenda:  
1.  Real World "Classical Era"
2.  "This is the true story...of seven (or 8 or 9) strangers...picked to live in a house...work together and have their lives taped...to find out what happens...when people stop being polite...and start getting real...The Real World."
3.  Choose your role:

• Aristotle
• Ashoka
• Cyrus the Great
• Caesar Augustus
• Emperor Wudi
• Ban Zhao
• Lady Xok 
• Ezana
• Moundbuilder

4.  Create a real world skit that incorporates (CORRECTLY) as much of the vocabulary as possible.  Since The Real World tends to play off of the socio-cultural backgrounds of individuals in order to create drama, I expect you to do the same.  (For example, how would Aristotle feel living with Ban Zhou, a female writer?)
5.  We will present the skits the last ten minutes of class...I expect at least 3-5 minutes of educational entertainment...meaning you have roughly 30 minutes to prepare.

Vampire Tuesday, Oct. 29th

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Oct. 31st, 2013
Quote of the Day:  "Everybody knows that everybody dies.  But not everyday.  Not today.  Some days are special.  Some days are so, so blessed.  Some days, nobody dies at all.  Now and then, every once in a very long while, everyday in a million days, when the wind stands fair and the Doctor comes to call, everybody lives."  River Song

Pajama Friday Nov. 1st, 2013
Quote of the day:  "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect...but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff."  TEN
