1. Parody vs. Satire

2. The Difference Between the Two
Parody
Parody makes fun of another work by imitating some aspect of it.
Parody is meant for mocking and does not contain anything serious.
Parody is pure entertainment and nothing else.
Parody does not intend to bring about societal change.
Parody can make fun of literature, film, advertising, popular culture, etc.

3. The Difference Between the Two
Satire
Satire ridicules the shortcomings of people or institutions in an attempt to bring about a change.
Satire makes a serious point, usually through humor, while attacking some aspect of society.
Satire often uses irony and exaggeration to make its point.
Satire can sometimes use parody to make a point (but not all parodies are satire!)

27. Your Assignment (Pg. 13)
Find a magazine advertisement or company logo/slogan.
Create a parody, satire, or both using inspiration from the advertisement or logo/slogan.
You can either create an entirely new image or manipulate the existing image with new words and graphics.
Write a one paragraph explanation of your parody/satire to show that you know why it is one or the other (or both).

30. You could parody almost any company logo.
Think about controversial topics or problems we have in our world today. You can satirize one of these issues and parody a logo/slogan at the same time.
If you are strictly creating a satire, you do not need to directly reference a company or brand.
Your work must be school appropriate! Inappropriate parodies and satires will receive a failing grade.
