Objective:  I can be (re)introduced to satire and cite evidence of exaggeration, incongruity, reversal, and parody to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences I make from the reading (RL11-12.1).
Agenda:  
  • Entry Task:  Sit with your 5 o’clock partner.  Get out annotated Multiple Choice and answer the next question.  Be prepared to be called on and give your reasoning for your answer. 
  • Group up with another 5 o’clock pair, so you have a small group; we should have no more than 7 groups.  
  • Review the titles that are in your chart and the reading you are nearest.  This is where your group will begin.  
    • You can read aloud or silently as a group, but you will have about 10 min. at each station (some readings will be more complex than others--if you have extra time at one station, you can catch up on a more difficult on by taking a picture of the reading before you leave).  
    • After you read, you should identify a quotation from the reading for each of the 4 components of a satire.  
Exit Task:  Make sure the readings are returned to the file folder.  Keep track of where you are, so you know where to begin tomorrow.
