Phyllis wasn't going to pin her hopes on Tom, and from the information she's gathered, that guy's credit wasn't good. Compared with the gifts of others, the knowledge obtained through study and research truly belongs to oneself.

This is what Phyllis asks of herself, and at the same time of what she asks of her students.

"So, I'd like you to write a paper on the history of the founding of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this weekend, and turn it in next week for the first history of magic lesson. The paper does not require the number of words or length, but it does require something to be said. Towards the end of her first history of magic class for Ravenclaw and Gryffindor's first-year students, Phyllis assigned a special assignment, "If you ask the seniors, you'll know that there aren't many assignments in the history of magic class, but every semester, I give three papers. It's written, and it's passed at once; If you can't write well, keep writing until you actually write something. Keep in mind that the grade on your essay will have a significant impact on your final grade in the History of Magic course this semester. Well, who has what's the problem? Now it can be brought up. ”

The eaglets and lion cubs under the lectern lowered their heads and stared at the letters in the textbook, but no one made a sound.

Just as Phyllis was about to close the textbook and end the lesson, Harmine Granger of Gryffindor House raised her hand.

"Okay, Miss Granger, do you have anything to ask?"

Hao Min stood up, and could see that she was obviously a little nervous, but she still tried to be as calm as she could and said, "Professor Kate, we are only freshmen in the first year, this is the first history of magic class, and the knowledge we have learned about the history of magic is not enough to support writing a paper. ”

"I know that." "First of all, I don't expect you to pass your first paper, and in the six years I've been teaching, the best students have spent five weeks, which is enough time for you to build up your knowledge of history." ”

Hermione didn't sit down, she followed Phyllis's train of thought and asked, "Then why don't we start writing our thesis after a month or two of study?" ”

Phyllis stared into Hermione's eyes and said, "Miss Granger, there is an implicit condition in your question, and I don't think this implicit condition is valid. ”

"What implied condition?"

Phyllis turned her gaze to Leah and asked, "Miss Price, answer Miss Granger's question." ”

"Huh?" Leah didn't figure out how the fire had come to her.

"This ...... That one...... It's ......" Leah stammered, not knowing what to say.

Phyllis frowned slightly and said, "None of the Ravenclaw students in this class have a talent for critical thinking?" ”

All the students' heads were lowered, no one dared to make a sound, and all the students, except Hermione and Leah, were trying to lower their presence.

Phyllis shifted her gaze back to Hermione and said, "Miss Granger, there's an implicit condition in that question of yours, that paper is just the result of learning. In fact, writing essays is an extremely important learning process. Only when you pick up the pen and start writing can you understand yourself and realize how ignorant you are. With this knowledge, you will be able to learn purposefully.

"Alright, class."
