Learn how to write a satire. Topics include the difference between irony and sarcasm, ways to know when an author is being ironic, as well as what is and isn't appropriate subject matter for satire. I'm a public high school teacher near Seattle. I welcome comments and suggestions. The music is royalty-free, from GarageBand.

I found satire very confusing but this video helped a? lot! Thanks! :)

I'm overjoyed to find this! Many of our aspiring writers could use your video to better understand the delicate art of ridicule. My unhelpful editorial suggestions of "You're being too? nice" or "You're being too mean" are nothing compared to this succinct how-to. MisterSato411, I tip my hat. ~Leah Wescott

Hi, there. Wonderful video!! Is it at all possible to get a copy emailed to me for my classroom?? My students are studying satrical works right now, and their final project is to create their own satire. Please let me know when you have time. Thanks so much, Angela

GREAT job! Your video has helped me so much in the development of MY FIRST (fake) UNIT PLAN ever! I am still a student, so hopefully I will be able? to use it one day.

thank you! that's really help. You're better than my teacher! She? makes me more confuse to understand about satire.

mistersato411@ well, the essay is not written in satire form, it's pretty conventional, and I added a little humour at the? end which I am a bit scared to keep because it changes the whole tone of the essay. Is it a good idea to mix this two things? And if so, how would one introduce the humour and not let the reader confused.
By: mistersato411. on 03 Mar 12, 17:10:17
Check with your teacher, but in a literary essay,? many teachers like one or two sentences at the end that explore how your essay's main ideas can be relevant in the real world. This can sometimes be more personal in tone than the rest. In a satire, on the other hand, you can be pretty colorful in every line.
By: mistersato411. on 03 Mar 12, 17:07:03
Check with your teacher, but it? depends on what you mean by color. Because of the use of humor, irony and sarcasm, every line of a satire should be pretty colorful, not just the conclusion.
By: stargirlsusan. on 03 Mar 12, 07:29:04
I want to know if it's a bad idea to? write a sentence or two a the end of a serious essay just to add some color? Plz help

Just in case? anyone is trying to think of topics, I wanted to post these in addition to what the creator said... people who brag about doing dumb things (ex: ahahaa! I littered!), those who give no effort while expecting results, animal cruelty, overpopulation, end of the world, abortions/contraceptive use, government interference in personal life (care from birth to the grave) ...
