Music Television, more commonly known as MTV or Music Television, is a famous global American cable television channel headquartered in New York City. Its first broadcast was officially launched on August 1, 1981. MTV is widely regarded as one of the world’s most influential and widely watched television networks. MTV is one of the most popular and recognized brands globally. It is available in about 400 million homes in 166 countries. The MTV logo is widely regarded as one of world’s the greatest and instantly recognized logos. It was created by Manhattan Design, a design collaborative comprising of Pat Gorman, Frank Olinsky and Patty Rogoff, which was overseen byFred Seibert, the network’s in-house creative director. The imaginative letter “M” was actually an illustration by Rogoff. Carrying the effort forward, Olinksky spray painted the “TV”. During its early years, MTV mostly featured a logo which incorporated a big yellow “M” with “TV” in red letters. The network also employed various variations of this logo, with respect to color schemes, textures and patterns, as well as to celebrate special occasions and festivities. The general shape and proportions of the MTV mark, however, has remained unaltered in all respects. Worksheet printout Use this to start your drawing.

In this assignment, students become a modern-day Chaucer and create a stereotype poem based upon a contemporary figure in society. They must write a poem that describes this modern-day pilgrim, including imagery and rhetorical devices, that reveals a clear tone either approving or disapproving of the figure. After creating the poem, students are asked to write a paragraph explanation of their stereotype poem that includes the effect of their rhetorical devices. This is an excellent way to make Chaucer's work relevant to today's society and even an effective writing task for students to complete BEFORE reading Canterbury Tales. Students will LOVE sharing their stereotype poems with the entire class! This assignment includes a student sample of a stereotype poem about politicians as well as a rubric to grade the final product. This activity is included in the Canterbury Tales MEGA BUNDLE-- Great for Distance Learning & In Class Study!
