Satirical Journalism
Language Arts or Social Studies Credit
The Daily Show is a long running satirical news show, that is both bitingly funny and on point as it covers important (and not so important) stories in news, politics, and pop culture. We’ll watch the most recent episode(s) together and discuss top news stories and guest interviews.
Student participants can also play and replay most episode’s through any podcast platform.
Social Studies credit will be offered for all students who participate meaningfully and respectfully. Students who choose to do so, may earn Language Arts credit for this course by preparing three drafts of a 5-page article on a social topic featured in an episode—to be determined by you and the facilitator—and submitting a final, edited, draft by end of the term.
