Future Flops: Tomorrows Teases
Writing the Satire
Futures satire dream – tease it floppy. Target a vision: “Jets fly free – Im grounded.” Hit the sci-fi – pods, rays: “Future says now – I wait.” Keep it wild – tame flops. Write: “Tech says utopia – Im dystopia.” Blade Runners flops inspire. Start yours: “Car flies – I walk.” Practice turns tomorrow into teases.
Teaching the Technique
Teach future jabs with a sci-fi twist. Give “jet lands” – twist: “Landed so fast, Im back!” Show Blade clips – dream, zing. Steps: vision, quirk, jab. Assign “pod fail” – spark: “Fail so sleek, Im lost!” Discuss zip: wild wins. Warn off dull – tease rules. Flop-off: pitch a tease, best flop wins. Futures a guess – teach them to guess it.
