Muggle Studies Lesson 1 [ 3-7 ] // Communication Devices //

[RAFE LAUREN]

Pausing for a few seconds allowed the students to gather more interaction amongst themselves and with him as the Professor. It was so interesting to see so many hands up and so many people asking their questions. “ One at a time!” He called out in a joking manner smiling shortly after before looking around at the students. 

“ Miss Weasley is absolutely correct everyone. Written text was one of the earliest forms of communication dating back to Ancient times as Mr.Rowle had mentioned though it’s also important to note that these early paintings were used to depict a story. “

He looked over to Henri and back over to Rose clapping his hands softly. “5 points to Gryffindor.” It seemed he was feeling more generous than normal with the amount of points he was handing out during this class. He was about to speak again when he noticed Rose offering advice to the Slytherin student with a vision impairment. “ Miss Weasley, I would also like to award you an extra 5 points for offering assistance to Mr.Rutherford. “ He called out before noticing the other students.

“ Well a skilled witch or wizard is able to send through a message in the form of a patronus while others may opt in to use the floo network to convey a message. “ He replied to MrHilfiger with a small nod before facing the other students. “However, I want us to now focus on the devices in front of us. “ 

He paused for a split second before moving over to the three items in front of the class. “ Over time, technology has developed and gone through drastic changes. The mobile phone for example, has gone through drastic changes over the years with different brands being released as with the laptop but as humans advanced their technology, one skill they may have forgotten to advance too is their ability to communicate through the written text. “

“And while these electronic devices won’t work here, it’s important that when we go amongst our lives in the muggle world, you’re alll familiar with these electronic devices. “ He walked over to his table and opened up his Muggle Studies textbook. “ I’ll ask you all to open up your text books to page 112 which talks about mobile devices through the ages.” 

He picked one student at random to read out the text in front of them. “Miss Walsh, would you kindly read out the information on when the First mobile phone was created. “ He then looked over at the remaining few students in his class. “ Mind you, I’ll tell you in advance, the homework for this lesson is to name three common phone brands that Muggles are still using today which both can be found in your textbook and through own personal research. “

[LEVI HILFIGER]

The professor calling out Ivy suddenly made him focus his attention more on the class. He saw it as a positive thing as there could be a chance of Ravenclaw house earning points momentarily. Eager to get his hands on the items before him, his focus was more on the laptop computer thing as he had already had a bit of experience with mobile phones as he once explained to Julian.

[LEE JI-HYUN]

Lee Ji-Hyun was attending her muggle studies class. She enjoyed learning about the muggle world and had taken a seat where she could see the professor well. She had already spotted three of her housemates in the class and had taken out her class materials. As the professor started the class, she noticed something written on the board behind him. He introduced himself and also informed them of his previous job. Then, he waved them over to the tables for an activity.

She walked over to the tables to see what the activity was about. The professor asked a question, but she had no idea what they had in common. She overheard a classmate saying something and looked over to see who it was. She recognized the girl as one of her housemates. The professor awarded five points to Ravenclaw for her housemates' contribution. She nodded in agreement but was clueless about the answer.

Then, she asked a question of her own, but again, she didn't know the answer. She listened to her classmates' discussion and heard the professor saying something. She returned to her seat to take notes and then walked back to the tables to continue taking notes. She went back to her seat and opened her book to page 112. She requested someone to read out loud the year when the first mobile phone was invented. The professor then said something else to the class.

Open Tag.

[LEO RUTHERFORD]

Leo grinned at Rose when she described the object to him. "Thank you." he whispered. It was always helpful for his classmates to step up. He felt his cheeks warming a little when Professor Lauren gave her points for it. If the professor had made the lesson accessible in the first place, Rose wouldn't have had to help him. It made Leo feel like a bit of a burden, like he should've just avoided the class.

Regardless, he took notes. He didn't want to fail the end of year exams, which felt like forever away at the beginning of the year. It hadn't even been winter break yet. But since he was one of the older students, Leo felt responsible for setting a good example for the other students.

[CALVIN KLEIN]

Being told what the homework was ahead of time was rather useful.  He quickly jotted down the Professor's request before he looked around at who Miss. Walsh was. Another Ravenclaw. He wondered if the Professor deliberately picked on students who were quiet and if that was the case, why was Calvin picked? He was an angel in class. So he thinks.
