Hogwarts Founders and their Houses

In class we discussed how one of the ways the founders of Hogwarts tried to compromise their views was to have their own individual houses. If they had agreed in the first place, would there still have been houses or would there have been another method to group or separate students? In class you were to choose either a Hogwarts without the house system or imagine another secret founder who created a fifth house.

For homework, either write a summary of your class activity (2 paragraphs of 5 sentences each) or creatively present your ideas to an audience (2 RP posts).

2. Interpret your Cycle themes you calculated in class. What does this mean for your life?
3. From the class survey, the most frequent First Cycle was a 1, Second Cycle a 4, and Third Cycle an 8. Based solely on this small (likely inadequate) sample size, what is the most common interpretation for a lifetime?
