  1. Name: Hon-Lac

     

    Gender: Male

     

    Race: Tovonese- Looks kinda like a Toa-sized, less menacing Vortixx

     

    Home island or continent: Tovon, a nice little island just south of the Southern Continent

     

    Primary Color: Green

     

    Secondary Color: Brown

     

    Physical description: See "Race"

     

    History: He set out from peaceful Tovon (Among the most civilized islands bar Metru Nui) as a tourist. He's been all over the MU and as such has an encyclopedic knowledge of all the tourist attractions and landmarks worth seeing. (I don't know how he met Dalek because I don't know who Dalek is. He probably just visited his island on a cruise or something.)

     

    Personality: Very energetic and enthusiastic about seeing new places, and as such he can rush into dangerous situations without even realizing that they're dangerous. He doesn't know how to fight and he's quite naive when it comes to how evil others can be, but he never lets this get him down.

    He wields a camera- Though not a very high-quality one by human standards, it's Tovonese-made and is the most advanced kind in all the MU. He has an endless amount of photos with him at all times (Printed on extremely thin, flexible protodermis sheets) and his only method of defense is blinding enemies with the extremely bright lightstone flash.

  2. My friend Chris and I spend the whole period making fun of them and making up coded nicknames for them so we can make fun of them to their face without them knowing it. There's Lewie, SweatyMan, FishyMan, Simpson, Beavermonkey... All very, very stupid and funny people.

  3. In language class, all you write are things limited and restricted to these ways to do things, and it does get annoying at times because generally I think too much on the stuff that I have to force into it, than the actual writing itself. I would love it if one assignment was a "Free Writing" and you just type up a story, spell check it, grammar check it, give it a creative appearance, and get graded on the quality of the work, and the useage of words and phrases. It'd be just so much more fun, rather than "Read this. Write this, this way, no exceptions." It kills the creativity.

    Yes! For the love of God, yes!

     

    Last year, my teacher pretty much loved me so she let me write whatever I wanted pretty much whenever. There was a story (or "essay") I wrote for the final that was about the distant future, the year 2000. It had a dystopian world government that harvested the morbidly obese for fuel, and there was one fat man out to stop them- Oilic Manlio. (He lived in seclusion deep in the Arizonan jungles.) Mr. Manlio had accumulated so much energy in his fat cells that he was capable of self-destructing, which would cause an explosion as powerful as a supernova, and he used this power to force the World Government to end their evil ways or risk the destruction of the solar system.

    I got an A+ on that.

     

    This year it's all "analyze this character" and "apply some ridiculous symbolism to that..." Where's the heart?

     

    Social Studies, perhaps have an assignment where you have to write up a historically accurate story based around an era of time? Like a story of the battles during the Civil War, or Revolutionary War. Or, just in general allow the students to design their own project, but in order to design the project it'd have to fit with the current area of learning, and display creativity as well as effort, along with correct facts. It'd be fun.

    We did a fictional Civil War journal last year. Mine involved a soldier's expedition across America to defeat the rebellion and to establish a steam-powered berry-picking system for Smugster's Jelly Farms back home.

     

    Art, I'd say allow more free draw periods, and not just several hundred projects where you have to draw a certain item. Like, learn a technique, but draw your own drawing and add the newly learned technique into the picture, rather than doodling boring things.

    We had a lot of that, too...

    ...Dang, I had good classes last year.
