User blog:Ckohrs0221/Hogwarts Super Final

So a few terms ago, Bond led a memorable Herbology final that was reminiscent of the Triwizard Tournament maze. He and I had discussed at that time the idea of possibly combining that idea with other classes to make it more interesting.

Recently in chat... Jay was talking about something similar... and as often things do in chat... the conversation led to an idea.

A Hogwarts Super-Final.

It's obvious that the last few weeks OOC of Hogwarts people stop posting in classes, and doing "finals" for classes has become a thing of the past. Well, I'm bringing it back.

So what will this look like?

Similarly to the third task in Goblet of Fire... it will be a maze. All of the core classes in Hogwarts will be represented (sorry extra classes... since not everyone takes those classes... it wouldn't be fair IC to the students. Please feel free to create your own finals!!). So to clarify... the classes that will be represented in the maze are: Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, History of Magic, Transfiguration and Potions. (Yes, I am determined to incorporate HoM into the maze. I will do it. It will be awesome. Don't laugh at me.)

There will be three separate mazes, broken up based on skill level. There will be a maze for 1st-3rd years, a maze for 4th-5th years, and a maze for 6th-7th years. There will be three separate pages created for these mazes, and students will partner up with each other, and can feel free to partner with students in other years, provided their years are represented in the same maze (ex: A 4th and 5th year could partner up, but a 1st and 4th year could not, and a 4th and 7th year could not).

The Super Final will begin during Week 8 of school, and go through Week 9. There will be no classes held at this time. Hopefully, with this large time frame, everyone can participate and finish!

So what do I need from you?

Teachers! You need to contribute! I will not pretend to know all of your lesson plans. :P What I need from every core class teacher is this: 2 key concepts from each year that you teach. So if you teach all 7 years, this means I need 14 pieces of information from you. If you teach 3... I need 6. You can either owl me... you can catch me in chat... or you can comment here on the blog. Your preference. If you want it to stay a secret... let me know, I can do that. :) But I need these pieces of information by the start of week 6, so that I can figure out the logistics of each maze. If I don't hear from you by then, I will hunt you down and find you. I mean that in the nicest way.
