Honors 9- Please make sure you have your A Modest Proposal annotations and paragraph for discussion tomorrow. Here is the prompt for the paragraph if you need it:
Answer the following prompt in paragraph form, using
evidence from the text:
“What is Swift proposing that the Irish do with their poor
children and why is he proposing this? Explain author’s purpose (think about
author’s craft) in writing this piece? Create and discuss a theme that you
identified in the text.”
Today, I introduced the satire writing assignment. I have attached the hand out here for reference:
Assignment
Due November 10
Creating
your own satire
As we have looked at satire, we have
seen examples in videos, we have looked at written pieces, viewed cartoon examples
and we have discussed music examples.
Now it is your turn to create your own
form of satire.
For this assignment, you and a partner have
the freedom to create your own piece of satire in the desired form you would
like. You can create an editorial, make a video, draw a cartoon, create a song,
create a rap, or anything else you can possibly think of. (Run your idea by me
if you are choosing something outside of this.) It is important that your piece
is
truly satirical—make sure you review our class made definition and
elements beforehand. If you do a song or video, please include a script. There
is no specific length, just make sure it is long enough and clear enough to be satirical.
This assignment will be due November 10. On that day, you will be sharing your
piece with the class! Have fun with this!
English 10- Today we turned in our LOTF writing assignment and checked in books.We started reading The Scarlet Ibis and worked on completing annotations and a graphic organizer.
