Popular Culture [Monday, March 19, 7th period]

Rose entered the classroom, still tired but refreshed from a full night's sleep. "Hello, class, hope you had a wonderful weekend. Continuing from last week's lesson, still talking about the idiot box, this time we will talk about TV and music. You can imagine how influential this became when they've combined the two.

"If you've been reading the syllabus, you know this is one of the major projects of your class, by next week, I'd like you to create your own MTV. Criterias for grading would be creativity, teamwork, song choice, etc.,  I've assigned you to two groups, I'll give you time to discuss the project later. Speaking of MTV, let's delve into a little history, shall we? In 1981, this little network almost single handedly changed the face of the music industry. And I mean, radically, radically changed. Overnight this little network no one knew became a household name. If you want new, fresh music, if you want to produce a 'cool' image MTV was and is the place to launch it.

"They became keepers of the industry, took small time muscians and made them more popular face than they ever were. MTV has also been, to no surprise, credited for encouraging bad behaviour in teenagers. Do you lot agree with this statement? Do you think that television, movies and MTV have any influence in our behaviour?"

Rose looked to them, "Go on, what do you think?"

Ami sat quietly and tried to figure out what she had missed. She hoped someone in her group would help.

Alphonse very belatedly sat down by one of his group members. "Hello."

Re: Group 2

"Hi. Um, so what are we supposed to do?"

Rose is debating, to be or not to be?

After Class [March 19]

She's bouncing a red ball against the wall again and again and again. It's sort of hypnotic. And noisy.

"Er...Ms. Tyler?" Marco stuck his hands in his pockets.

Re: After Class [March 19]

Rose caught the ball, shaking out of the trance, "Er, yes, hello?"

Re: After Class [March 19]

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Um...I kinda had to go home because of a kind of emergency thing and I missed class."

Re: After Class [March 19]

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"I noticed," she said with a nod, "Is everything alright?"

Re: After Class [March 19]

"Well...I didn't get decapitated, mutilated, emberassed, thrown off of a cliff, or in any other way deformed, so yeah, I'd say so." It was kind of scary that he was still cheerful.

"Ms. Tyler?" Ami came over to Rose's desk. She looked... well, not in a coma. Not great but at least ambulatory. "Um... I missed some classes?"

Re: After Class [March 19]

"Amy!" Rose said, happily, "You're awake! I've been worried about you, visited you quite a few times in the clinic, I was beginning to fear you won't wake."

Re: After Class [March 19]

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Oh" Ami said, ashamed that she did not know who had visited her. "Thank you for visiting. I am awake. And back... and woefully behind in my schoolwork..."

Re: After Class [March 19]

"Don't worry," she assured Ami, "You can catch-up brilliant mind you have, if you want some make-up work and if you're up to it, I can ask you to write a paper?"
