How to Write and Teach Satire: Classroom Critiques That Click
Writing the Satire
Classrooms are satires chalkboard – critique away. Target a rule: “No phones – were pigeons now.” Hit the grind – tests, bells: “Quiz so hard, Im a fossil.” Keep it light – heavy sinks. Write: “Teacher says focus – doodles rule.” Peanuts school jabs inspire. Start there: “Homeworks due – dogs alibi.” Practice turns desks into delights.
Teaching the Technique
Teach class jabs with a kid twist. Give “test day” – twist: “Test so tough, Im dust!” Show Peanuts strips – light, sharp. Steps: rule, quirk, jab. Assign “late bell” – spark: “Bells late – Im timeless!” Discuss fun: easy wins. Warn off dark – light rules. Class-off: pitch a jab, best click wins. Class is a stage – teach them to play it.
