Class D15: Difference between revisions

Posters at the back of the class were on the [[Industrial Revolution]], the [[Norman Conquest]] of [[1066]], the [[Tudor]]s, "searching for rights and freedoms in the [[20th century]]". Other posters were a timeline from the year [[0]] to [[2000]] [[AD]], a [[National Portrait Gallery]] poster on [[Mary II|Mary, Queen of Scots]], and a [[Keep Calm and Carry On|Keep Calm, Learn French Revolution]] sign. [[Flag]]s of many different countries hung above those posters.

On [[27 October]] [[2016]], [[Miss Quill]] and [[the Inspector]] ran into this classroom when a [[Leaf Dragon]] was chasing after them. She barricaded the door with one of the desks, but it broke the door down and came through anyway.

Quill pushed the Inspector toward the dragon, and as it took him apart, she discovered he was a [[robot]]. Miss Quill led the dragon out of the classroom, and ran outside the building. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo (TV story)|The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo]]'')

The [[November|next month]], after the door had been repaired, [[Miss Shah]] taught about the [[Battle of Dunkirk]]: [[26 May]] - [[4 June]] [[1940]]. On the [[whiteboard]], she weighed why it was a failure and why it was a success, also listing the losses and fatalities.

She asked her students to imagine they were one of the soldiers being evacuated, to learn about the mind-set of a [[soldier]]. [[Student 2 (For Tonight We Might Die)|One student]] asked if he was about to get [[bomb]]ed.

[[April MacLean]] was taken over by [[Corakinus]] during this lesson, and spat about the soldiers at [[Dunkirk]] being cowards, making the bold statement that a soldier signs up to die. The first student and Miss Shah herself agreed that that was a bit harsh. [[Student 1 (For Tonight We Might Die)|Another student]] revealed that [[Student 1's father|her father]] was in the [[British Army|army]], and said that he didn't sign up to die. April also said that cowards should be weeded out of every [[army]], and, finally, pronounced that the soldiers at Dunkirk should have stayed, and died in battle.
