Tuesday, January 15 ... Finish the Satire Journal

Finish the journal assigned yesterday - info from yesterday copied and pasted below so you don't even have to go back (all info is also provided with the assignment in Canvas).



Using the extremely antiquated article I read to you last week ("How to Be a Good Wife" from a 1950s Home Economics textbook), you will write a satirical list of 9-10 things you need to do to be a "good" ... boyfriend/girlfriend ... student ... son/daughter ... or whatever you choose.  Be creative.  Have some fun with it.

But remember that, at the heart of satire, there is a lesson to be learned or a point being made.  Use humor, sarcasm, irony, etc ... but again ... and I STRESS ... have a purpose for your satire and be sure that you accomplish it.

• 9-10 Items in your list
• 2-3 Sentences per item
• Must contain: HUMOR or SARCASM or IRONY
• Must also: make a valid and effective point to your reader
• QUIZ GRADE

Submit through Canvas no later than midnight tomorrow (1/15/2019) or it will be considered late.  We will work on it in class tomorrow as well.  Late work accepted until midnight on Friday (1/18/2019).
