So if I were sending mine in, they would say "HW4 - Kim Alting" and "EC4 - Kim Alting" in the subject line. Please also include your name, house, and HOL ID at the top of your e-mail.

THE SWOLLEN STUDENT (20 points: 2 points each)
The unlucky student in the class spilled some Swelling Solution on his hand, and rather than admitting this to me and asking for assistance, he decided to continue the lesson and hope the effects of the solution would just wear off. As such, his notes are an absolute mess again. Please help him figure out what he was trying to write by unscrambling the key words from the lesson below:

Extra Credit
For your extra credit, you may choose to complete any assortment of the following options to add up to a maximum of 30 points. Some options will allow you to do just a portion of them - for example, since each "Heal or No Heal" item is worth 2 points, you could post in the class discussion for 10 EC points and then do just 10 of the "Heal or No Heal" items for the other 20 EC points.
RESEARCH (30 points)
In today's class, we discussed how the Sleeping Draught may cause someone to experience a range of different types or depths of sleep. For your extra credit, please research about the types of sleep and stages of sleep that there are, and tell me about them. Please write at least 350 words for full marks. Please include all sources.
PRACTICAL (30 points)
Following any of the recipes given in the lesson, brew one of the second-year potions (preferably one you haven't completed an assignment on before!) and tell me about your experience. How did your potion turn out? Did you miss a step, add too much of an ingredient, overcook it? If so, do you think that improved or ruined your potion? Who did you try the potion out on? What is it supposed to look like? How did yours look? Briefly tell me the story of your potion-brewing experience! (Minimum 350 words)
If you're not very talkative, you're welcome to send me a picture (make a graphic) of how your potion turned out instead (Again, please create a new image for this extra credit - don't reuse one you've already made for the class!). You're also free to create an image, drawing, etc. of any of the ingredients used in the recipes. Basically, you're free to make an image of just about anything as long as it's obviously related to the lesson (and you tell me what it is!)
THE DISTRACTED STUDENT - PUZZLE TIME! (30 points)
Once upon a time, a prior student at Hogwarts was too busy focusing on a girl he liked to pay attention to brewing his Swelling Solution, and he ended up brewing a very runny and poor potion. Today's puzzle is in remembrance of this odd preference some people have for loving people rather than potions. Please take a screenshot of the completed puzzle and upload it to an image hosting site such as Photobucket or Tinypic, and send me the direct link.
You can find the photo of the young man's crush over HERE.
CAN YOU SING A RAINBOW? (30 points, 2 points each)
We encountered a lot of colours in today's lesson. I want to make sure you know what colour each potion should be and when. As such, please tell me the colour of the following potions:
1. Girding potion after adding three measures of doxy eggs.
2. A weak Sleeping Draught
3. Girding potion after adding one set of fairy wings
4. Swelling Solution if you brewed the potion correctly
5. Girding potion after adding toasted dragonfly thoraxes for the second time
6. Hair-raising potion
7. Girding potion after adding toasted dragonfly thoraxes for the first time
