Student Examples of Satire

Good Morning!
Please get your netbook when you arrive.

* Please have your independent reading book out so I can check what you are reading.  Have your book each day.

* Yesterday we discussed ideas on issues that might be the topic of a satirical essay -- an essay that critiques an issue in our world using satire. Today we will read two student examples.

ASSIGNMENT: In your ENGLISH JOURNAL briefly summarize the following essays and indicate what satirical devices are used to satirize. (Be sure to include the title of the essay in your ENGLISH JOURNAL)

"Satirical Essay on Social Media"

"How to Succeed in School"
