After talking with everyone and figuring out the schedule, I´ve decided that there will be no class final. Our only final will have been the AP exam. In this case we will still have one last activity together: a satirical graduation speech.
Pretend you are delivering a speech at graduation. You are a graduate asked to address everyone in honor of the occasion. The speech should be 6-8 minutes long.
Each speech will be specifically graded on its inclusion of all characteristics of satire (hyperbole, irony, absurdity and a target - probably graduation speeches). In addition you might include banter, wit, facetiousness and urbane humor.
Please pick up a graduation speech packet available in my classroom with examples. We'll be studying Andy Sandberg's, Will Ferrell's, Ellen Degenares's and Amy Poehler's. All of these can be found easily online as well, should you want to watch them instead of reading them (or doing both). These should be posted by May 21st.
