Warm-up:  Select two claims that Swift makes in “A Modest Proposal” and explain what evidence he uses to support his claim.

Classwork:  Modest Proposal Quiz, completing Modest Proposal discussion and Rhetoric and Style questions

Homework:  due 2/25 - write your own satire (at least 300 words) that addresses a contemporary issue and exaggerates some idea to indicate your ridicule.  You could propose a solution as Swift does or subvert traditional thought as the Onion does.  Feel free to use Swift, the Onion, or other satire as models, but your satire must be your original work.
