Homework #1 [30 house points]
Short Answer Questions [10 House Points]
Please ensure you provide your answers with full sentences!
1. In what ways can the doors inside the castle be opened?
2. What is the Hogwarts motto and what does it mean?
3. Who founded the Hogwarts Castle?
4. In what manner can the castle change?
5. How do first year students reach the castle?
Opinion (long answer) Questions [10 House Points]
There are no true right/wrong answers here, but please back up your reasoning. For full points include at least 100 words per answer.
1. We've listed several transportation methods in the lesson, different ways a student can reach the Hogwarts School. Which method would you say is the best and/or safest? Which method would you say is the worst or least safe? Why?
2. Obviously the Sorting Hat has the first and last word on how students get sorted into houses, supposedly based on their traits. Would you say this is a valid method of assigning them to the different houses? Do you think the Hat always makes the right choice? Why, or why not?

Please pick ONE of the cases below. For full points you must include at least 150 words.
Case #1: You need to come up with a new Protective Charm for Hogwarts. What is the incantation? What does it do? Who does it affect? Get creative!
Case #2: You've been tasked to come up with a new transportation method for students, either from a certain location to the castle, or from the castle grounds to the castle itself. What will it be? What does it require? How does it work? Can you estimate the costs?

Extra Credit #1 [30 House Points]
