 How do you see satire being used in today’s world?

Day 4

 Reading 3.5c Evaluate the philosophical, political, religious, ethical, and social influences of the historical period that shaped the characters, plots, and settings. 3.2 Analyze the way in which the theme or meaning of a selection represents a view or comment on life, using textual evidence to support the claim. 3.1 Analyze characteristics of subgenres (e.g., satire, parody, allegory, pastoral) that are used in poetry, prose, plays, novels, short stories, essays, and other basic genres. 3.7c Evaluate the philosophical, political, religious, ethical, and social influences of the historical period that shaped the characters, plots, and settings. 3.9 Analyze the philosophical arguments presented in literary works to determine whether the authors' positions have contributed to the quality of each work and the credibility of the characters. (Philosophical approach) Reading 3.7b Relate literary works and authors to the major themes and issues of their eras. Reading 3.3 Analyze the ways in which irony, tone, mood, the author's style, and the "sound" of language achieve specific rhetorical or aesthetic purposes or both.  Writing 1.1 Demonstrate an understanding of the elements of discourse (e.g., purpose, speaker, audience, form) when completing narrative, expository, persuasive, or descriptive writing assignments. Students will be able to… – Identify and discuss the relationship between a time period and the literature produced during that time.  Analyze how literature shapes or reflects a society.  Identify and evaluate the use of satire, irony, and sarcasm.  Create original works using satire, irony, and sarcasm.

What do we picture? How do we define it?

Satire First and foremost, satire isn’t just making fun of someone. For example, saying a certain politician looks like an elephant because he/she has huge ears, not satire. To be considered satire it must highlight the hypocrisy, absurdness, or idiocy of the situation, person, event, etc. and in doing so must make some comment or criticism.

Satire Satire can be achieved through exaggeration (also known as hyperbole), reversal, incongruity, understatement, sarcasm, and/or parody. A lot of times, satire can be offensive on a surface level or even a deeper level if it is causing issue with a person’s beliefs, so you need to be careful how you use it and how you react to it.

 What are some examples of popular modern satire?  The Daily Show/The Colbert Report  The Simpsons  South Park  Shrek  30 Rock  SNL  What do these shows satirize?  Are these shows taken seriously? Do they make some sort of impact? Does society realize what these shows are?

 Your group will be given a character from The Simpsons, on your own paper identify the following:  Who/what is being satirized?  How is it being satirized?  What do you think the author’s real message is?  Together as a group you will present your findings to the class.

 You will take the multiple choice test on this unit next class. It will be open note, but it will also be timed.  Things to study are:  Metaphysical poetry  Puritan writers  The essential questions  Purpose of “A Modest Proposal”  Suggestions from “A Modest Proposal”  Examples of sarcasm, understatement, hyperbole, irony  Swift biographical facts as they relate to the essential questions.

 Next class you will write your own version of “A Modest Proposal.” You need to choose a situation/problem/issue that you feel can be satirized. You will then write a short essay that includes the following:  What/who is the issue  Why is it important  What is your “modest” solution ▪ Include what it needs and how it will work  Why would your “solution” works/why is it a good idea ▪ Make sure to include here a counterargument and your rebuttal

 Issue: Hats on campus  Importance: students not following rules, blatant disrespect leads to further troubles  Solution: when a student wears an inappropriate hat to school an appropriate one will be permanently attached to his/her head  To work: a sterilized surgical room will be created in the health office with a top rated surgeon standing by so the procedure is not “cruel and unusual,” no infections or complications will arise, and can be done immediately  Good Idea: Will eliminate the problem by becoming a serious deterrent to all students once an example is made out of a small few, those offenders will never again be able to disrespect the rule on hats  Counter: expensive to pay surgeon, upkeep surgical center, provide appropriate hats  Rebuttal: pro bono plastic surgeons, students with detention will upkeep center, hats can be donated by local business

 Next class you will also take a test that will match your personality with complementing careers. You will take the test, when you take it you should choose your answers honestly and quickly. Go with your first reaction. You will then score it an get a code. Match the code with the correct handout to get your results.  Save your results!!!!
