The next two weeks will be learning about parodies and learning to write your own. So make sure you have some space to work!
Monday
Parody:
A parody is a humorous version of any well-known writing.
Example: Your little sister puts on your father's big shoes and stomps around in them, saying, "I need to make a business call. I am a very busy, very important businessman!"
A parody could be about a song, story, book, fairy-tale, or movie.
Watch this video of "eBay" which is a parody of "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys

Tuesday
If you've ever heard of Weird Al Yankovic, you've heard the king of parodies. Weird Al has made a career out of parodies. All of his songs that you may find, are him making parodies on top of famous song tracks.
Watch this video of Weird Al doing a Star Wars Parody on top of the song American Pie.

Wednesday
Parodies make fun of another work by imitating some aspect of it. Parody is meant for mocking and does not contain anything serious. It is pure entertainment and nothing else. It does not intend to bring about societal change. Parody can make fun of literature, film, advertising, popular culture, etc.
Often, parodies come in the form of videos. Watch this one about Wii Fit!
