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

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.]

Luke laughed. "Not often. I'm saving the fuel in case I need to get home. I've only flown it a couple of times since I've been here."

"Oh," Evie said, disappointed. "I suppose that makes sense. Even the automobiles need fuel. I hadn't considered that. Your home is the desert one that you don't miss, isn't it?"

"That galaxy, yes," Luke said. "I'm never going back to that particular planet again."

"Where *would* you go, if you could go anywhere?" Evie wondered. "What's the most exciting place in the galaxy? If that Rebellion and the fighting weren't going to interfere."

"I've always wanted to see Corellia," Luke admitted, "but the chance of that happening right now is about as likely as me being able to fly by flapping my arms."

"Corellia," Evie repeated, like she'd say, 'Amarna' or 'Thebes.' "I do hope you get there someday. Perhaps after school? Will you be able to get passage there then, perhaps?"

Luke snorted. "Sorry," he apologized. "I have a price on my head, so...probably not, no."

Evie winced. "Ooops. But still. Someday? When your war is over, and you've won, I hope." She looked a little embarassed. "All of your people. Then you can go to Corellia."

Luke felt badly for making her embarrassed. "I'm sure that will happen," he said politely.
