To see them or link to them on your DP, go to YouTube, and find the channel for TheLoriTeacher. Your video should be there! If you had an audio track, I have set that track to your digital art piece as a video. Enjoy!
TAKE STUFF HOME
There is still a shocking amount of stuff left in my room from exhibition. Lights, tables, stools, pillows... I do not want it! Please take it home today or tomorrow.
Satirical Devices Presentations
In your small group, present your satirical device poster to your group. Make sure they all understand the device.
Satire Centers
There are 6 centers. You must do all of them in your group. Resources are linked below. For each center, you need to write down the following in your notes:
- What or who is the target of your satire? Be as specific as possible in describing it!
- What methods are used? Reference the list of satirical devices for this.
- What is the purpose and message of the satire? What is it trying to say?
- What stood out to you about this satire? Method, issue, art, humor, other? Explain why this was so striking.
Center 1: Flat Earth Society
Website is linked above.
Center 2: Truth About Wireless Devices
Center 3: New Yorker Cover
Center 4: More Money = Better Than
Center 5: Darfur Cartoon
Center 6: Albi the Racist Dragon
Satire Response
- “A Modest Proposal” is an ironic essay: the author deliberately writes what he does not mean. What is the real thesis? Is there more than one?
- Does the essay merely function as a satirical attack? Does Swift ever present any serious proposals for improving conditions? If so, where? What are they?
- Is satire an effective technique? Why/why not?
