A little bit of grammar to begin - reviewing the first unit in preparation for the quiz tomorrow. Also tomorrow is a content quiz for those students who did not hand in the chapter summary notes in class today.
Finally, we discussed, at a fairly superficial level, the difference between satire and parody, defining humour and sarcasm to start with. You should be aware that parody is imitative, generally amusing, and intended to ridicule, whereas satire is not necessarily funny (often quite deadpan), generally political or social in nature, and is intended to reveal problems in order to bring about change.
Thesis and outline are due Tuesday, March 24th, as per my blog posting of Friday, February 20th.
