I’m working on a literature project and need a sample draft to help me study.Part 1: For
this Project, you will be writing a satirical essay addressing a
problem in your community. You may choose community on any level: local,
school, national, or world. You may choose a topic as large as global
warming or as focused as uniforms in your high school. I recommend
choosing something on the national scale for ease of research.Click on the link in the Red Box to view the Project Rubrics for this project.
Possible topics could include:Global warming
Health care
Food stamps or unemployment benefits
Gun control
Immigration
NSA domestic surveillance
Gay marriage
Marijuana legalization
National debt
Education reform
These
are a few suggestions, but you may choose any topic that you can
satirize. (The exception to this is abortion rights. This topic is
off-limits for this essay.)Once you have chosen a topic, your paper should explain the debate:What are the arguments on either side?
What logical, ethical, and emotional appeals are used?
Who are the key figures in the debate (politicians, actors, news pundits, etc)?
Use a minimum of four quotes, properly cited.
Then,
propose a ridiculous solution to the problem. Proceed with your paper
by using logical, ethical, and emotional appeals to make a satirical
case as to why your ridiculous solution is the “best” solution.Your whole essay should be written in a satirical tone, in the way that Swift does in Modest Proposal. (You can also refer to Stephen Colbert as an excellent modern example.) Sell your solution!You must use all three of the following satirical devices:Exaggeration or hyperbole
Understatement
Irony or Sarcasm
Part 2Now that you have constructed your
satirical argument, turn that into a multi-media presentation. Turn your
argument into either a video or a PowerPoint presentation.Here, give your argument more dimension. Your presentation should include a variety of additional materials:Video clips from key figures in the debate
SoundMusic
A recording of your voice
Pictures
Animations
This essay should be between two and five pages (500-1250 words)
in length. Your final draft should be saved and submitted as .doc or
.pdf file. It should be in 12-point font in Times New Roman. Your
presentation must be at least three minutes long or include a minimum of ten slides.Rubric https://intervisualtechnology.us/pxudpothrb/167/17…
