1990s Cable Branding: MTV Some of the discussion posts will not have a specific direct prompt. For these discussions, we still want you to discuss the readings, the lectures, and the screenings, but you have a bit more freedom as to how. You will always need to reference the concepts from the readings and lectures in some way, and you will always need to write about how these ideas relate to the television episodes you are asked to watch. So when you come across a discussion assignment with an open-ended prompt, I suggest (a) finding a concept or two from the reading that interested you in some way (either because it was a new idea that you liked or an idea that you initially found hard to understand), and then (b) talk about how you personally see this idea relating to the assignment television episodes. That is, don't just regurgitate the argument from the reading. Instead, give your own unique take on the screenings and give your thoughts as to how the reading relates to this unique take. Just as you might share your thoughts during an in-class discussion. READING DOWN BELOW IN PDF SCREENINGS 90s Cable Brands Real World: New York, E7 (Screening) AND eposide 11
