( 000 ) homework grading post!

[quixotical]

Please post how your student did on this homework here, please! Current homework is due by October 30th!

Basically, all I need is your house, year, and how you think they did. He'll grade from there!

For all years, I want you to do a research paper on a magical creature of your choice! It can be from any country or place! I'd like to see you put your voice into each paper, and let me know the basics about each creature - their usual habitat, what special properties they might have, their Ministry of Magic classification, and other things you'd need to know about the creature! (Be sure to mention if they're a beast, spirt, or being too!!)

You're going to present the findings of your research in class, so make sure you can keep your classmates entertained and interested while you describe it! I'll give you grades based on how you present it in class, and how through your research is!!

Also be sure to hand in your papers!!! You won't get a full grade without them!

These will be due by October 30th, so you should have plenty of time to get this in to me!! I expect a lot of good stuff from you guys, and let me know if you need any help with your researching~! Your professor is here to help!!

Name: Utena Tenjou
House: Gryffindor
Year: 4th

Utena does her project on the Pogrebin, and does a good job with her research. Her voice comes through very clearly as she warns everyone to be careful; you almost won't know they're following you around, and you could die! Her presentation is good, mostly because of her natural charisma, though her facts are sound and it's obvious she put a lot of effort into it.

Name: Hayato Gokudera
House: Gryffindor
Year: 5th

Once again, Dera has gone overboard in his research, especially since he's doing his project on dragons, including several varieties like Welsh and Chinese. His voice is a bit gruff during his presentation, considering he usually talks down on everyone (except Tsuna) like they're idiots and he uses wild hand gestures to animate what he's saying.

Name: Mukuro Rokudo
House: Slytherin
Year: 5th

Mukuro does his project on manticores. It's very well-researched, though it goes into a little bit too much detail about how they kill and devour their victims. He's fairly charismatic, so his presentation is good, but he doesn't skimp on those details and tells some pretty horrible stories about recorded encounters with manticores. Plus, he stresses how they're sentient and intelligent but they still see humans as prey, seeming rather delighted by that. (If he's questioned about the stories he claims he told them because it was appropriate for Halloween, of course!)

Name Molly Hayes
House Gryffindor
Year 3rd

Her paper is a bit messy and doesn't flow very well but it has most if not all the necessary facts. It just doesn't read very well. Also she doodled the creature on the side. Her presentation on the other hand shows she knows what she's talking about (because it's so cool) and is VERY animated.

Name: Taiga Aisaka
House: Gryffindor
Year: 6th

She chooses the Phoenix! Taiga works hard on her paper, and it is excellent and beautifully researched. However, she tries to go through her presentation as quickly as possible, and it suffers as a result.
