Snark Attack: Sarcasms Cutting Edge
Writing the Satire
Sarcasms satires sneer – cut with cool. Target a flop: “Oh, genius, another tax – Im loaded!” Hit the obvious – delays, duds: “Bus on time – next year.” Keep it dry – wet flops. Wildes quips slice with style. Start tame: “Great, nets down – perfect day.” Practice turns dumb into droll snips.
Teaching the Technique
Teach snark with a sneer twist. Give “rain hits” – twist: “Oh, lovely, Im a fish now!” Show Wilde clips – dry, zing. Steps: flop, quirk, jab. Assign “slow line” – spark: “Wow, speedy – I aged!” Discuss bite: cool wins. Warn off rage – dry rules. Snark-off: pitch a cut, best edge wins. Snarks a flick – teach them to flick it.
