SPOILER!!: Professor Bentley

Alyssa listened as everyone gave their version of what they thought a herb was. As they spoke, she wrote down what they said. Basically it seemed liked everyone had about the same definition. So Alyssa sat back and tried to think of her own definition that had something to add to what was already said.

Alyssa raised her hand and answered.

"Professor an herb is commonly defined as a fleshy, leafy seed flowering plant."

"However, some American Botanists have defined herbs, not just as the common small perennial leafy plant, but also any tree, shrub, annual, vines, ferns, mosses, algae, lichens, and fungi."

"Herbs are commonly used in flavoring when cooking, for their medicinal and healthful properties, and even for their fragrance in perfumes. They can also be used to make pesticides and colored dyes. Parsley and Thyme are two examples of herbs."

Okay. She knew that she had given more than just the definition but Alyssa had decided that just saying that it was a plant was just too boring.

The finality of the summer holidays had been difficult to come to terms with, just because being lazy, sitting in the sunshine and observing the behaviours of flesh-eaters was the perfect use of her time. Doing a quick head count, Seren figured it was about time to get the ball rolling. If there were any late comers, they could deal with her later. "Hello everyone! Welcome to our first lesson of the term. I hope you're all well rested after the summer holidays. For returning students welcome back, and for new students... welcome. I'm Professor Bentley, I trust you're all familiar on the classroom rules." She paused here to eyeball a few students whom appeared to be trouble makers. Mmhhmm. Rules. Follow them. "This term, our unit of study will be herbs. Can anybody have a guess at how we might define a herb?" OOC: The lesson has officially started. Do not announce yourself arriving late, just pretend as if you've been here the whole time. Do not edit your answers (I'll know if you do). The lesson will continue in approximately 20 hours.
