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?"

Do you think that television, movies and MTV have any influence in our behaviour?

Discuss project, come-up with wild ideas! Try to see what the other group is doing!

Discuss, tease, bicker spy! C'mon everyone's doing it!

Rose is debating, to be or not to be?

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

For she is wee!

Marco

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

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

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

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

"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.

She smiled, "Good to know, it'd be a bit disturbing to have to teach to your decapitated body, even for me."

Marco grinned. "Yeah, tha'd be kinda a problem. I like having my head connected to my body, makes the whole talking thing easier."

"Don't forgetting eating," she reminded him, "Suppose you're here about make-up activities?"

"And snarking. Um...if I claimed I was battling aliens that are trying to take over the human race and got hit in the a-uh-back by a goat?"

"I'd believe you about the aliens," She said then raised an eyebrow, "It's the goat I'm having a hard time believing."

Marco gaped for a second. "Um...well, it's kinda complicated, but we were trying to get friendly with it and it decided it really, really hated me. Me, not the four legged blue freak or bird-boy, but me, poor little Marco who can't get out of the way fast enough." He paused. "It may have been a female goat."

Rose smirked, "Must be it then, well, I'm glad you escaped from that with all your limbs intact."

Marco grinned. "Thankfully, dignity isn't a limb. And the bruise was gone by the time I got h-home."

Rose noted the stutter but didn't comment on it, they all had secrets.

"If it was I'd long ago lost all my limbs," She said with a roll of her eyes remembering her own misadventures.

"Yeah, and that would suck because I think it's kinda hard to teach limbless. So um...make up work? Cause I think my story about the goat was kinda cool and I have a few hundred others..."

"If you mean by cool you meant sort of hilarious and pathetic, I'd accept that," Rose said with an amused smile, "Anyway, make-up work... how about a paper on your cultural icons who they are and how they relate to you?"

Marco considered this. "Can I write about my idea to have Bradd Pitt play me in the Hollywood hit that's I'm hoping to get made eventually?"
