Survival in Extreme (Magical) Circumstances What kinds of magical danger might you run into if you were a professor at Hogwarts? What does the Enchanted Forest contain? What kinds of potions might your enemies (or friends!) brew up against you to make you look bad? What kinds of magical creatures might you run into, what sorts of adventures can a wizard find herself in with no warnings? In your group compose a chapter about wizardry and survival in extreme magical circumstances. Base it upon the work we have been doing in Joshua Piven and David Borgenicht's "The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook" ISBN 0811825558 and see http://www.worstcasescenarios.com/ to view pages from the book. The more creative the better. Chapter titles I will provide are as follows, but feel free to add your own. Cover Art and Design 1) Great Escapes and Entrances 2) The Best Defense... 3) Leaps of Faith 4) Medical Emergencies 5) Adventure Survival 6) Magical Creatures 7) Counter-Charms 8) On the Spot Include diagrams and pictures as necessary. Ask lots of questions. Try to imagine Everything possible that could go wrong in a Professor's life at Hogwarts. Each chapter should cover 3 to 6 circumstances. They don't have to be long, but they do have to be detailed enough that first year students could use this as a basic textbook. WHAT I WILL LOOK FOR WHILE GRADING...... Quality! Quality! Quality! Quality! Quality! Quality! Quality! Lots of well-considered examples, wide breadth of subjects and well-drawn pictures and diagrams. Effort! Effort! Effort! Effort! Effort! Effort! Effort! Effort! You will get an extra 5% for each chapter you include beyond the 8 I have supplied. Good Luck....... Some notes of Explanation and Examples Leaps of Faith: Like jumping from a flying broomstick onto a dragon's back or entering Gryffindor House Common Room on your broomstick (see below), or under an invisibility spell. Example of student work: **How to escape from a 3-headed Dog: 1) Poke him in one of his six eyes. 2) Kick him on one of his six noses. 3) Hypnotize him with your bellybutton. 4) Get him to do the can can (you hum the music) 5) Call for back up to keep the dog busy while he eats them. 6) "JET!!" **How to enter Gryffindor Common Room on a broomstick: Make sure the way is clear. Get Neville to say the password to the fat lady and come in fast and low. Saying "Fore" is a good idea.
