Satire

In all hours, we followed a similar plan - even if we ended in different spots:

1. Vocab Experts for Unit 17
2. Tone Words Round 2 - paragraphs (3), speed learning (1,3), circle review (1,3,5)
3. Swift's "A Modest Proposal," the most famous of satires. While we are in the middle of the satire in all hours (fifth hour only two paragraphs away from the finale), you are welcome to read ahead for discussion next class. Here is the link to a version that has the same paragraph numbers as our in-class text: https://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Texts/modest.html. Remember, satire is all about fun - you should be embracing the hyperbole and ridiculousness to help make the real purpose that much more evident and meaningful.
