Intro to 21st Century American Culture - Monday - Period Five

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

When the students enter the classroom, they'll see that instead of Lorelai standing up at the blackboard that Marty is there instead.

Yes. You should be afraid.

"Hi guys. Ms. Gilmore-Danes had to take her son to the pediatrician for a check up today so you have to deal with me instead. And yes. I do get to hand out detentions. Fair warning."

"Today we're going to go over another television show format called 'Teen Dramas'. Typically, this is a group of friends who go to school together and suffer bizarre and weird plot twists that no normal teenager would ever go through."

"In front of you are some portable video players loaded with some examples of the TV shows in question. Please watch the clips and when we are done we will have a class excercise."

Meta Title/Actual Show Title
Vanessa Saturn/Veronica Mars
Hollywood 90068/Beverly Hills 90210
Wendy The Werewolf Stalker/Buffy the Vampire Slayer
The Valley/The OC
Leery's River/Dawson's Creek
Rescued by the Alarm/Saved by the Bell
Ninth Hell/Seventh Heaven
Two Shrubs Valley/One Tree Hill
My Life Totally Sucks/My So-Called Life
Gelmoore Gals/Gilmore Girls

Class Excercise:
"All right kids. Your class assignment is to choose a character from one of the series you just watched and for the rest of the class you will act like that character. The scenario here is that you are all in a strange high school where all of your characters have been forced to go for whatever reason and it is your first day of school. I know the scenario is unrealistic but just run with it. For giggles we'll call it Random High."

[ooc: Wait for the OCD is up.]

Lavender Brown

Watch the videos...

Obey the meta...

Pete watched an early episode of Wendy the Werewolf Stalker.

He sure as heck wasn't going to pretend to be one of the girls in the series.

That leather-wearing werewolf wasn't half bad, though.

Gwynn was watching the shows and looking less than sure about this assignment.

However, that Wendy girl was a fighter and she liked that.

Kaylee just kind of stared as she watched the clips. They sure liked to complain a lot, especially the characters from Leery's River.

Luke watched an episode of "Gelmoore Gals." He wished he could be as tall as DeanSean, because the daughter was cute.

Evie considered being Wendy for a moment, but decided she really wasn't athletic enough to pull that off.

However, Vanessa Saturn investigated things! She could do that! And she could be witty and tilt her head sideways, and widen her eyes like she was having a seizure!

After watching the Valley clip, Briar desperately wanted to scrub his brain out.

Time for Role Play

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty will be playing the part of Principal Tristow from AKA.

"Please remember kids that Random High is set on small island off the coast of Saskatchewan. I know that Sakwatchewan has no coast but that's not important right now."

Re: Time for Role Play

[forgottenpants]

Right. Pete was going for Thorn, the badass Werewolf from Wendy the Werewolf Stalker.

He kind of wished he had a cigarette for it.

Bel shrugged and picked Eric Lohan from Vanessa Saturn. He seemed like a pretty cool troublemaker.

Re: Time for Role Play

Gwynn is paying more attention to the notes she took from the video, trying to understand them.

Re: Time for Role Play

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

Kaylee chose Bobbie, the girl next door on Leery's River. She could be moody and whiney if she wanted to be. Really.

Joxer sat, his face devoid of emotion.

"Oh, if only I had cans to stock in a broody and attractive way," Luke DeanSean of Gelmoore Gals said.

Re: Time for Role Play

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Evie tilted her head, and tried to smile in an amused-but-not-superior fashion, and put her hands on her hips, trying to look tough. "Why is it not important? What is Saskatchewan? Why are we here? Is there a crime?"

Briar sat in the back and tried to look intimidating.

Love to everyone who gave me Meta ideas and to socksofcool for the name and location of Random High.
