Job Applying For:

Defense Against the Dark Arts



Reasons Why I Want the Job, and What I Can Bring to HE:

I really want the postion as professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. I feel that it would really make me a more active member then I already am, and would bring me closer to other members. I would be able to bring alot to HE through this job. I would be able to help others who don't fallow the books as closely, and hopefully show them how wonderful HE is. I know I would be a good professor becasue I am on this site everyday, and I always check for updates, so students wouldn't have to wait forever for a new class to come out. I will also have interesting and fun lessons so people will be more active. After taking many of the classes here already, I really want to become a part of it all.



Class Example:

Unit 1- Lesson 1- Patronus Practice

Okay, For this class we will learn the magic behind the madness of a patronus. We all knoe quite a lot about them from Harry, but easier read then done! I think it would be a good idea to go over it becasue it can help us in many threating situations.

1. Name the instances in the books where Harry used a patrouns charm, and what he used them for. (please include chapter name but no page is needed)

2. What is (are) the creature(s) a patrounus can be used against effectivly.

3. Why do dementors flea befire the patrounus? What does it do to them?

4. What do you have to do to produce a patrouns.

5. List the fallowing vharector's patrouns forms:

Harry
Ron
Hermione
Cho

Essay-- In 100 words or more, please explain what your patronus would be and why, and why you think it would be a good protector, and a comfort to you.

Bonus-- Name a memory you would use to produce your patrounus
or
Draw a picture of your patrounus

Job applying for:
The Arts


Reasons why you want the job and what you can bring to HE:
Hmm.. well I dunno I like the subject. ok I love the subject, its easy yet its confusing. Because art isnt what everyone thinks it is. And I wouldnt approach it just as a class with homework. Id build it up. First classes would be of questions and finding out background information about art and the thing that people are studying. I'd try to teach the Fundementals through the homework first before giving out assighnments based off of the arts.

Class example:
-This is just like I explained a first class I would do.-


Part one:1. Name three different kinds of art.
2. Of the three kinds of art you just named list someone who has become famouse from suceeding in each form of art.
3.What is the definition of art?
4.What is Literary art?
5. Name one person who's suceeded in Literary art.
6. Why is art important to you?

Part 2:
What i your favorite type of art? Describe your favorite type of art including examples from famous artists or even unfamous artists in your choice of art. Make it as long or as short as you want. Keep in mind though the more explanitory you are the more chance for full points.

Bonus:
Post a picture of a peice of art or an artist you mentioned when describing your favorite art.

Job applying for:

Reasons why you want the job and what you can bring to HE:

I also feel i may be a great proffeser since i ahve so much free time to grade and stuff. I may not be a harsh teacher but hopefully they will learn something. So i hope i get the chance to show what i got.

I'm applying for the Defence Against the Dark Arts post (surprise, eh? ).

I feel that I am suitable for this position because I'm a patient, mostly (hee!) friendly person who is also very creative and works hard at things that interest me, as this subject does greatly. I'm also looking to become more active in areas of HE other than Quidditch, and I think this would be a good way towards doing just that. I didn't apply for any professor jobs last time due to my work schedule and the impending Christmas Eve/Boxing Day/New Years Eve marathon, but work's calming down immensely now and I feel as if I have the time and the energy to put into making this class an interesting, fun, and exciting course. I also believe that I can bring a measured and balanced mind to the teaching, and I certainly have the organisational skill to pull it off.

b.) Legilimency.
c.) Blood Alchemy.

For the next assignment class, and your final task in this lesson, twenty points are available, so you must go into detail if you wish to earn points for your House.

I want you to profile a known Dark Wizard for me. Include a reference photograph where possible, and list some or all of the following points:

b.) What his/her notable Dark actions have been to date.
c.) What his/her fate has been up to HBP.

These are just guidelines, and extra points will be awarded for making it interesting and engaging to read.

Job Applying for:
The Arts

Reasons why you want the job and what you can bring to HE:
I think I would be suitable for this job as I am a dedicated member of HE. I have wanted to be a professor of something but nothing has come up that had caught my eye until this. I am usually kept up to date with posts and happenings in HE. I also would give time to plan classes and unless I have a valid reason, would be willing to mark any homework posted. I’m also pretty much on my computer a lot so I wouldn’t get overrun with marking.

Class Example:

There are many kinds of arts. But in this class I’m focusing on Drama but more specifically the theatre and Playwright.

Part one: (two points for each question)

What was the name of the first western theatre?

Where was the first western theatre located?

Which civilisation owned this theatre?

What is the usual layout of a theatre? (Diagrams can be included but a description will be fine)

Where is the globe theatre situated?

When did a fire destroy the globe theatre?

Which famous Playwright preformed often in the globe theatre?

What is a Playwright?

When we say theatre to small children a lot of them will think “pantomime” but what is this?

Finish this famous Pantomime quote: “It’s _ _ _ _ _ _ you!”


Part Two:

For this you must write a short autobiography (200-250 words) about a playwright. Can be famous or infamous. Information must include

· Full Name

30 points awarded maximum.

Job applying for: Drama, Arts, and Music Class

If you are already a professor, would you be keeping both classes?:
I'm not a Proffie :D

Reasons why you want the job and what you can bring to HE:
I love the arts, and I take a drama class at my own school. It's something I am seriously interested in persuing it as a career. One thing about the arts that I really love is how it allows you to be creative and use your imagination. The way one person could direct a play, or interpret a painting, or play a piece on an instrument, could be completely different from the way another person would. There is no concrete right or wrong answer or interpretation. It's so free and I think that's wonderful. If I were a professor in this class, I would encourage the students to think, and not just go somewhere on HP Lexicon and find answers that they could be able to copy and paste. I'd want them to use their minds to answer the questions, not someone else's mind. All the classes I would teach would be informational, because there are some basics and definitions and things you do need to know.

I understand that my teaching of a previous class did not end so well, but, truthfully, though Arithmancy is a thought provoking subject, I could not think freely with that class. I would be able to do that with this class. I'm a dedicated member of HE and would be very determined to be a dedicated Professor.

Class example:

Drama Class:
The Nine View Points

1. What are the nine view points? Define each one. ((Okay so this is KIND OF getting answers from another source, but it's important )) (9 points)

2. Find one picture that describes each view point and explain how this picture is connected to that specific view point. An extra points will be given for each picture from a Harry Potter movie (36 points possible with bonus)

2. Where did oil painting originate? (4 points)
3. What did they use in their oil paintings? (4 points)
4. Post a picture of an oil painting, include the author and title of the piece. What do you think is going on in the picture? (3o points)
