Satire Yarn: Fiction That Fakes It
Writing the Satire
Fiction satire spins tales – fake it funny. Target a plot: “Hero saves all – trips on cape.” Hit the yarn – quests, twists: “Quest for gold – found lint.” Keep it wild – tame flops. Write: “Tale says win – Im sunk.” Orwells Animal Farm inspires. Start yours: “Days epic – I nap.” Practice turns stories into stingers.
Teaching the Technique
Teach fiction jabs with a tale twist. Give “hero flops” – twist: “Hero so great, he lost!” Show Animal Farm bits – plot, sting. Steps: yarn, quirk, jab. Assign “quest fail” – spark: “Quest so big, I quit!” Discuss zip: wild wins. Warn off dull – fake rules. Yarn-off: pitch a fake, best sting wins. Fictions a lie – teach them to lie it.
