Satire Stump: Speeches That Stump Fools
Writing the Satire
Speeches are satires podium – stump them silly. Target a talk: “He spoke peace – war cheered.” Hit the blab – grand, dull: “Vision says soar – I snore.” Keep it crisp – drone flops. Write: “Speech says lead – Im lost.” MLK parodies inspire. Start yours: “Boss talks – I doze.” Practice turns oratory into oofs.
Teaching the Technique
Teach speech jabs with a talk twist. Give “big plan” – twist: “Plan so grand, I quit!” Show parody clips – blab, zing. Steps: speech, quirk, jab. Assign “pep talk” – spark: “Pep so high, I crashed!” Discuss snap: crisp wins. Warn off long – short rules. Stump-off: pitch a stump, best fool wins. Speeches are wind – teach them to wind it.
