"Hello, everyone," Trina greeted, nodding at the students as they entered. "Please feel free to take some snacks. I don't have chocolate frogs, though. I'm wanting you to rely on proper sources." She waited as they milled around before taking their seats, pulling out her notes. "I'm not going to give you a lecture today, this is a revision class. Let's just go over a couple of questions that you might see on your exam and then I'll leave you to it."
Trina cleared her throat, looking at her notes. "Okay, so, easy one to start. Who did we start with, the most famous western wizard of all time, anyone?" She waited as someone answered, and nodded. "Good work. Let's make it a bit harder. How about...who were the three women named as witches by the Williams children in Salem?" She let the students go through the answers, and grinned. "Well done. If you had a bit of trouble remembering those, I'd say now's a good time to have a good look over your notes on the witch trials." She gave them a bit of a conspiratorial look. "The boy who lived, what was his name?" She gave a nod as that, too, was answered, and she put her notes back down as she sunk into her chair.
"Alright, I'll leave you all to it. Now's a good time to go over your notes, have some snacks, talk amongst yourselves. I would prefer you to talk about what you've learned this semester but if you must talk about other things I'd ask you to keep it down. Surely you don't want me knowing all about your holiday plans. You have to get through your exams first, remember. If you fail, you'll be re-doing the exam while everyone's at the Yule Ball." Trina smirked as she sat back behind her desk, taking an apple slice from her plate and nodding to the students. She was clearly joking, and hoped the students realized that. She certainly had no intention of sticking around the school for the ball if she could help it. "And I'll be right here for the class so if you have any questions or need any clarification at all, please come and ask me. I'm not going to be happy to answer your questions on the morning of the exam, so speak now or forever hold your peace." With that, she let the students amuse themselves for the rest of the class time. Hopefully they would be studying, but she knew she couldn't force them to. She did certainly appreciate the students who did, though.
Homework
RP the lesson (attendance post is fine). Bonus points to students answering questions (limit it to one per student, preferably people who haven't had a chance to answer questions yet!)
