NEWT students: discussion

[alt_savitha]

So, my dears. I thought that first session of Salazar's Rules went rather well. I'd like each of you to think about your performance today, and the performance of your friends and classmates, and share an observation or two.

What could you have done better?
What could those around you have done better?
What mistakes did you see?

You may share your observations by journal, or by scroll if you must (turned into my office sometime before our next meeting on Friday).

Speaking of Friday -- sixth years, on Friday you'll have your first session with Salazar's Rules. I would encourage you to read what the seventh years have to say about their experience and LEARN from it.

Like other of my Slytherin cohort, I focused on observing rather than throwing myself into the fray, while nonetheless fully aware of how that choice might reflect on me.

What the lesson as a whole showed me is that in most cases, people perform precisely how others expect them to--whether those expectations are based on House or personality or overall school standings. I feel that this is something all of us could improve on: versatility; adaptability; aptitude. Why, I find it remarkable that even the responses written here are entirely in keeping with the individual who wrote them!

I have composed a detailed list on each student in the class and how their actions during the lesson directly pertain to the character traits that they are known for. Because I do not wish for the other students to be aware of how I've perceived them, I shall send the list to you by scroll, Professor.

I have received your scroll, Miss Greengrass. Your observations were most intriguing and I am looking forward to seeing how they serve you in future class sessions.
