How to Write and Teach Satire: Social Media Skewers
Writing the Satire
Social medias a satire goldmine – skewer its vanity. Target an influencer: “She got 10k likes for breathing – airs her brand now.” Hit the fads – filters, hashtags: “My #NoFilter selfie used six apps.” Keep it current – trending nonsense is ripe. Write: “He tweeted deep thoughts – bathroom mirror wisdom.” Xs chaos fuels it – study viral flops. Start with your feed: “My post got three likes – Im a ghost now.” Practice turns scrolls into skewers.
Teaching the Technique
Teach social skewers with live posts. Toss a trend – “dance challenge” – twist: “I danced, broke the floor – viral fail.” Show X roasts – quick, brutal. Steps: target, quirk, jab. Assign “selfie boom” – spark: “My pic blinded the sun.” Discuss bite: now wins. Warn off dated digs – fresh is best. Roast-off: pick a post, best skewer wins. Socials a circus – teach them to clown it.
