Filed under: Uncategorized — jem2323 @ 7:25 pm



I’d like you to blog your response to “A Modest Proposal.” Discuss these questions with your social action group, and then have one member post a blog entry in response.

1. What was your group’s overall response to the piece?

2. Which of the four satirical techniques did you see used? Where and how were they used?

3. Have you seen or heard of any modern satires that remind you of “A Modest Proposal”?

4. If you were to choose to use a satirical element in your cause, how could you use it? (You don’t HAVE to use satire…just discuss the possibility.)
