Ideas on specific classes . . .
Mar. 17th, 2011 09:53 amI will be teaching at Arts and Arrows here in upstate New York May 13-15.
It's going to be a cool, low-key camping event near a couple of brew pubs.
I had asked about classes.
Here is what I am thinking about teaching.
Yeah, it's a long day, but people fight and embroider all day.
10 a.m. : "How to Have Fun In The SCA:" This is a class for anyone in the SCA, whether new or experience. A list of really fun ways to pass the time in the SCA and ideas on how to approach it as fun.
11 a.m. : "Welcome to the SCA:" A basic newcomers' class. The real basics about the SCA. I am doing this one second to give the new folks a chance to get acclimated.
Break for lunch
Informal discussion over lunch: "Student-Teacher Relationships in the SCA."
1 p.m.: "If Someone's Wearing a coronet with six pearls, what do I call her?" The answer is "Your Excellency." This is a quick overview of awards, titles and forms of address in the SCA. Useful for new folks and as a refresher.
2 p.m.: "SCA Groups and Geography:" What's a stronghold? Where is Smoking Rocks?" "Why is it called "Smoking Rocks?" "You mean there's SCA in Australia?" A quick overview of kingdoms, principalities, baronies and the like and a look at SCA geography in the East and in the Know World.
3 p.m.: "Peerages 101:" What's a peerage? How do people get to be peers?
