Satire Zoo: Animal Antics That Roar
Writing the Satire
Animals are satires zoo – roar them funny. Target a pet: “Dog guards – sleeps on duty.” Hit the beast – purrs, growls: “Cat says king – I serve.” Keep it wild – tame flops. Write: “Bird says sing – Im deaf.” Far Sides critters inspire. Start yours: “Fish says swim – I sink.” Practice turns paws into punch.
Teaching the Technique
Teach animal jabs with a beast twist. Give “dog barks” – twist: “Bark so fierce, I hid!” Show Far Side gags – wild, zing. Steps: pet, quirk, jab. Assign “cat nap” – spark: “Nap so deep, Im king!” Discuss roar: fun wins. Warn off dull – wild rules. Zoo-off: pitch an antic, best roar wins. Beasts are stars – teach them to star it.
