All in all.... they had done fairly well. It was a simple enough concept to grasp in terms of basics, so she didn't need to worry about that.
"Good, good... so you all have a sound understanding of what an ecosystem is." But just to reiterate... because reiterating cemented knowledge to memory... "Ecosystems, being systems, are formed through the interactions between organisms and their physical environment, both living and inanimate."
"Now many of you touched on points and aspects which make up ecosystems... characterises them and shapes them into what they are. Things to consider, when studying ecosystems," which is what they were doing, so notes on the following would be handy for them later, "... include solar energy, moisture, minerals, nutrients, soil, organisms and disturbances."
Now came the crucial part, which would significantly influence their success in this course of study...
"Why... would understanding ecosystems be important to the study of herbology? What can we gain from this?"
OOC: The lesson will continue in approximately 12 hours. Remember not to edit your posts. There are no limitations in how you choose to answer this question.
OH. Was she doing alright, then? And not failing completely? That boosted her self-esteem.. a little.
Still. Herbology was too difficult and complex for Alice's mind. So she just jotted down notes from other people's answers, because that would. After listening to a couple answers, she seemed to be finally getting the gist of it, so she tried her hand at an answer, as well.
"Knowing the plant's habitat well helps us nurture it and.. and learn more about it?" OR SOMETHING. But wasn't the whole point of Herbology to understand plant stuff? Their circle of life and all?
Scribble. Scribble. Scribble. Whatever. Notes would help.
