The Makings of a Student!

Her first time giving a lesson! She wanted to teach everything she knew from everything she had known. She hoped to instill her love of reading and learning in her students!

First things first! Every student needed their own charcoal to retain their knowledge, why not start there?

In the smithy, she had made several metal pails with lids and handles on them. One for each student. A few hammers and several nails sat next to the pails. Laid out separately was an assortment of tree branches, Willow, Aspen, and Oak. A few saws and pruning shears as well to help students cut down their sticks to size.

She had made a large fire in the hearth. Perhaps she could double the lessons with paper making since the wood took a while to burn. Paper was hard to come by, so perhaps making it with charcoal would be a good way to introduce both.

She walked out of the classroom in the Market and howled out into the space, "Come all who wished to learn! A lesson in making writing or drawing charcoal!"

She would lead her students into the classroom and wait for them to find a spot to settle before she began.
