My Analysis

Creating And Communication

This unit assisted my learning about irony, satire, and allusion with an in class lesson on the three writing devices. In class we were explained to the definitions and then we were able to apply the definitions on The Simpsons show. In the show we were given many examples of sarcasm, situational irony, satire, and some allusions. Once we had seen some episodes, we did an in-class write about what were the factors to The Simpsons success. In the write, to refine my writing, I used the lessons we were taught on how write our best. As our teacher put it, “less is more”.

Core Competency Reflection

I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in the in-class writing we did. In the write, I made reference to the episodes of The Simpsons we had watched when I made statements regarding the use of satire and irony.

I can describe how satire, irony and/or allusion relates to The Simpsons. In the In-class write, I was able to describe how the humor in The Simpsons was an amazing example of irony as almost every joke made has a deeper or hidden meaning.

I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work; evidence of that is in how I structured my paragraphs in the write. In earlier writes I had received feedback concerning the spacing of paragraphs in my writes, with them being long single paragraphs rather than separate shorter paragraphs per idea.
