Weeks 11-13, instructions all in one place
Well, here we go:
w11 (Tue & Thu): Project introduction & project aim. If you haven't done already, do! If you have, start working. Regardless, use your blogs or email me what you've written. Also, please update the book reading part of your blogs.
w12 (Tue & Thu): Keep working with your projects. Once again, use blogs or email to keep me up to date.
w13 (Tue & Thu): Film week. See separate (upcoming) post for instructions.
IMPORTANT! Since I'll be gone until w 17, it's imperative that I can keep track of what you're doing somehow. Therefore I want you to write at least 2 blog posts per week from now on. Just write down what you've been working with since last time. I've you've been reading your book, just write about that the same way you've done before. If you don't write these posts, I'll have to put you down as absent from one or two lessons respectively. Just do it and everything will be OK.
As for weeks 15-16, I'll post suggestions for what to do during that time later on, I'm guessing sometime next week. Just check back.
Last but not least; when (if?) i get back we'll make an effort to sum these weeks up somehow. Haven't got a plan for that yet, but I'm sure it'll come to me.
Over 'n out for now. For questions and whatever, use your blogs or email/phone me.

Lessons w 12
Hi guys!
Sorry about yesterday. Seems this twin business takes a lot of time :) Just wanted to let you know that I'll be there for our lesson tomorrow, and that it's REALLY important that you show up too. Otherwise, I fear that this won't work out, which in turn would unleash a shitstorm on us all.
So, BE THERE!

Assignment w.11
Greetings underlings!
Some serious business went down Sunday eve, so we might not be seeing too much of each other for a couple of weeks. You WON'T be getting a sub though, so we'll have to keep things afloat ourselves somehow. We'll start off with me giving you instructions through this (my own, my precious...) blog. Try to check in at least twice/week (Mon+Wed is a good idea) to see what's going on. I'll also try to turn up once in a while, but everything we'd normally do face to face, we'll have to do this way instead. Just post comments if you have questions, and I'll try to answer ASAP.
Work for Tuesday, March 16
- Project introduction & project aim. If you haven't done already, do! If you have, start working. Regardless, use your blogs or email me what you've written. Also, please update the book reading part of your blogs.
Work for Thursday, March 18
See above. I'll try to turn up for this one, so be there! Keep sending me copies of what you're doing.

The Summoning Dark
A dark entity. Lurking. Waiting. Biding its time.
Eons old, the Summoning Dark is a powerful, evil force that enters the Discworld as the first dwarf is murdered in the mines beneath Ankh-Morpork. Powerful as it is, it still needs a vessel, a body, to break through and wreak havoc in the physical dimension. Thriving on aggression and hate, it finds Sir Samuel Vimes. Vimes is a man of strong emotions, whatever those emotions may be, which makes him suitable in this aspect. Now it's only a matter of breaking down his inner resistance. Should be a piece of cake, no?
The Summoning Dark can be found more or less everywhere in literature and movies; compare for instance with 'the Dark Side of the Force' in Star Wars and the influence of the One Ring in Lord of the Rings. What this represents (at least if you ask me) is of course the dark side of being human - evil thoughts, sometimes transformed into actions, that we carry with us, threatening to come out at more or less any time, but especially when we find ourselves in scary or unfamiliar situations. Doing what Pratchett does, namely putting a name to it and turning it into a one-on-one battle, serves to remind us of and clarify this struggle that we all face, on different levels, every day, as long as we live.
