1. INDEPENDENT READING -- Begin at the bell

2.  Satire -- "No Chive Left Behind"

     Please quietly read this essay and respond to the questions.

     We will discuss this together, especially question #8.

3. HOMEWORK:  Decide on a topic for writing your own satire.  Think about the examples of satire that we have read in class ( "Lost in the Kitchen," "The Truth about Beauty," "Advice to Youth,"and "No Chive Left Behind"). Write your topic down on the provided index card.  

    I promise that writing satire will be somewhat of a challenge because you might be saying the opposite of what you really mean (verbal irony).  Tomorrow we will look back at some of the examples of satirical features in the pieces that we have read AND we will begin writing.  Please be ready with your topic.
