This course usually begins with a question: What is an elf? A very simple question to answer!
An elf is a new member who hasn't been sorted yet OR
a member who hasn't been sorted yet.
In short: An elf is anyone who has not qualified to take the
Sorting Test!
If you're in this class, that means YOU!
Luckily the Giggling Pear has been updated with all sorts of information house-elves should find helpful,
so I won't make this lesson all about House-Elf basic knowledge.
biggrin Instead I'm welcoming you to the guild...for many, it's a bit late
xp Any elf who has read
the Giggling Pear knows enough information to be an elf. It's okay to make mistakes (unknowingly) a few times since you're new.
However if the moderators feel that they have given enough reminders, punitive (punishments) consequences will occur.
Even a banning is possible. However for the most part that has never happened!
The Giggling Pear (in a sense, our common room) is one of the busiest places in HPGoG!
I'm happy that many of you have already posted there a few times...if you haven't
go there now.
There's not really much more I'd like to say in this lesson, so....
Homework!Your homework is extremely simple. Please read the instructions carefully.
1) Please make sure you have read The Entrance Hall, Welcome, and Giggling Pear threads as soon as possible. A quiz on all three will be next!
2) Go to the
Discussion subforum and create a topic. I always make this an assignment because many members are afraid to make new threads, don't be (as long as it's in the right place!)
It's a great way to interact with all the other members.
Be sure to read the
Guidelines to the Discussion first to be sure your topic will not be spam.
PM me the link to your new topic.
**I only want ONE PM from each person. Please put 'Homework 1' as the subject so I'll know what it is**
