War Winks: Conflict Comedy
Writing the Satire
Wars satire clash – wink it comedic. Target a fight: “General wins – lost his boots.” Hit the fray – guns, plans: “Peace says soon – bombs laugh.” Keep it light – grim flops. Write: “Battle says glory – I hide.” MASHs quips inspire. Start yours: “War says go – I nap.” Practice turns strife into snickers.
Teaching the Technique
Teach war jabs with a fray twist. Give “fight ends” – twist: “Ended so well, I lost!” Show MASH clips – clash, zing. Steps: fight, quirk, jab. Assign “plan flop” – spark: “Flop so tight, I fled!” Discuss fun: light wins. Warn off dark – wink rules. Wink-off: pitch a comedy, best snicker wins. Wars a mess – teach them to mess it.
