Usually satire involves using an exaggerated example, or arguing the opposite position in an exaggerated way to show the flaws in that position. Satire also uses irony, which is when someone says one thing while really meaning something else. For example, when a student asks if class will be ending early, and the teacher says “I feel so valued and loved!" the teacher is using irony to point out how the student's request may come across as a slight on that class. Another example of how satire works is that it sometimes draws a humorous comparison to something unrelated to show how the same arguments apply. We will be watching a short video on consent and tea that does this. Humor can be hard to convey in writing. Think about the argument that you want to make, and then try to think what the best way to make it would be. Would irony, or arguing the opposite position in an exaggerated way work? Is there an extreme example that you could use? Can you think of a comparison that you can make that could illustrate your point? 1 2 3 4 5 3 4 5 2 3 4 5 2 3 4 5 Satire The Assignment A clear and arguable position Necessary background information is present 1 2 Good reasoning/convincing evidence 1 Appeals to reader's values 1 A humorous tone Uses logic to draw a comparison or illustrate an exaggerated example 1 2 3 4 5 Required drafts and other related material are present 1 2 3 The Rhetorical Situation The essay accomplishes its purpose 1 The essay meets the needs of its audience 1 2 The essay fulfills the demands of its 1 2 3 4 5 4 5 2 3 4 5 3 4 5 .

any slight mistake could destroy their lives. How, its ability to ensure everyone’s freedom should
not be used to cover the multiple limitations and loopholes of democracy. Democracy can easily
be used to cover the actions of the authoritarian regimes whose ideals are not in tandem with
those upheld in democracy
