This weekend's lesson plan

Saturday  5/1 - Food and Feasting
Sunday 5/2 - Sumptuary Laws

This could probably take up a week of lectures. 

[angusmacinnes]

Yes or even longer but they have 30 minutes.

From all the QOH a big thanks to our teachers for chipping in to make Highland weekend special for the Sctos.

 

Yes, we really appreciate the teachers. And the audience seems to be bigger each week.

[angusmacinnes]

I believe your correct and each week the lectures are increasingly interesting.  A big thank you to the instructors.

[CatAshtrophy]

I plan on attending on Saturday with my mother. Looking forward to it. Thank you to those that make it happen each week!

[DonaCatalina]

We unintentionally missed the lecture this past Saturday. I look forward to the next one.

[Tink]

Is there a text version of these lectures available?  I would love to learn more about all of these subjects, but, unfortunately, I won't be able to get to attend the lectures.

[Lady Kett]

I doubt it Tink, they are pretty free-form, which of course, is half the fun.

Perhaps in the future they could make a little handbook for sale though.

[SirRichardBear]

I doubt it Tink, they are pretty free-form, which of course, is half the fun.

And it means even though they cover the same subject we get a different lecture each time and learn something new each time.

[Brittney]

I will present the idea of a handbook to the rest of the HCM staff. The only issue could be copy writing concerns, since all the information we use comes from existing research. At the very least we can produce a book list. Thanks for your continued support and interest.

Thanks

[Lady Kett]

Ok not to totally derail this, honest...

But just like a school book report may cite resources, the taking of that information and spitting it back out in a different format, does not - TO MY KNOWLEDGE - violate copyrights.

If you took what you said, and put it in written form, and cited appropriate resources, that would be no different than any thousands of textbooks out there. Or, put it into a historical fiction context like so many books do - and I've never seen one of those cite resources.

I could envision chapters by topic (i.e. the day's topic at Scarby) and then have a small speech/dissertation by each of the characters about how that topic fits into their lives, since part of the fun is the different classes the individual speakers portray and the different views.

Ok, back to the regularly scheduled topic discussion! Please note, I am not, nor do I want to be, a copywrite lawyer!!! I do read a lot, however!

[Brittney]

It is the for sale part of it that gets hairy in the legal department. I will present the idea to the rest of the HCM staff, and festival management. In the mean time I will see if we can't get that book list together for you guys.

[Evie McCann]

A handbook would be wonderful!!! Especially to those of us who love Scarby but aren't able to go as often. I was able to make the "May Day" topic and found it very informative and interesting. I've worked in an Ob/Gyn office for 9 years and never knew the things I learned that day. Thank you!!
By the way Brittney, I took a picture of you during that lecture. It's one of my favorites from that day.
