  2. Standard: Analyze a case in which grasping a point of view requires distinguishing what is directly stated in a text from what is really meant (e.g., satire, sarcasm, irony, or understatement). Objective: Distinguish what is directly stated from what is really meant.

  3. Quick Write • Have you ever heard of satire before? If not let me give you a hint: satire is used in TV shows such as SNL, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report, and in the online “news” article “The Onion.” • Based on what you know of theses sources, write your own definition of what you think satire might be. Don’t be afraid to be wrong – just think and try!

  4. Elements of Satire • Read the article and highlight

  5. Satire:Write this down! • Satire is a literary device in which people, customs, or institutions are ridiculed (made fun of) with the purpose of improving society. • Satire is often very subtle (not obvious); therefore, you need to look for its indicators: humor, exaggeration, absurd situations, and irony.

  6. Satire is… • Any piece of writing designed to make its reader feel critical • Of themselves • Of their fellow humans • Of institutions (the school system, congress) • Of society as a whole Write this Down!!!!

  7. Satire • Some satire is meant to make us laugh at human foolishness and weaknesses. • Some satire is meant to make us angry about human vices and crimes.

  8. Satire • Satire can be aimed at humanity in general, stereotyped groups (like “ambulance-chasing lawyers” or clumsy doctors), or a particular person.

  9. Satire • Satirists are dissatisfied with the way things are and want to make things better. However, instead of giving helpful advise, they focus on what is wrong. Example: Satirists make fun of selfish, mean-spirited people hoping we will see the qualities in ourselves and change.

  10. Elements of satireWrite this down! • Exaggeration: portraying all politicians as dishonest or all clergy as corrupt. (words like all, always, never…) • Irony: • Verbal: saying one thing but meaning another, often times the opposite of what he or she has said. • Situational: when what actually happens is different from what is expected to happen or what is appropriate.

  11. Elements of Satire Continued • Understatement: saying less than what is really meant. • Saying “It’s a bit wet out there.” during a flood. • Sarcasm: particularly cruel or cutting irony, in which praise is often used tauntingly to indicate its opposite in meaning. • Saying “ Mrs. Sprinkle’s class is the most interesting class I have ever taken!”
