Battles that Changed History, Second Period 3/12

Mar 12, 2010 04:17

Today, the students met back in the classroom. In the center of said classroom was a kids' inflatable pool. On one side of the pool were toy battleships. On the other, toy sailboats.

Where is this going? )

Take notes, read your handout, pass notes. Wonder what's up with the boats.

Leia really liked this Elizabeth I and was interested in learning more.

Arthur sat back and listened, taking his lessons where necessary about numbers and how they could help or hinder.

He also made a vague mental note in the back of his head that at least if Albion had to be ruled by a woman, it was one, to use the local vernacular, who was badass. He was oddly mollified by that thought.

Most of Mat's memories were land-based, so he was taking careful notes on this particular battle.

His friends at home would tip over in surprise at Mat paying this much attention to anything that wasn't a girl.

Pair up and talk about what could've been done differently. Try to resist the temptation to splash each other.

Boats weren't space ships, but something about a woman-led fleet made of smaller, more maneuverable ships versus an armada of larger battleships that thought they ruled the water appealed a great deal to her.

No reason.

Kurt grabbed a sailboat by the sail and bravely piloted it across the pool towards the battleships, making little motorboat noises.

Arthur was there, of course, and...

... well, we weren't going to lie. He was 'researching strategy' with the boats. If it was any consolation, he really was thinking mainly about armadas.

Because that sounded useful.

Mat was there examining the design of the boats. The only ones he'd ever seen up close with from the Seanchan invasion and those hadn't exactly left a great impression on him.

Who is here, and poking at a sailboat.
