2.) Go over Satirical News Video Rubric: There should be 2-3 people in your group. Choose something that you think "must go" and figure out a way to show (with evidence!) why this is a problem and what your proposed solution is. Remember that your solution has to make sense and that you will have to make up "fake" evidence about why your solution is going to work and why you are experts in this area. Finally, make sure your video is well edited (you can splice in images, text, music etc. if you want to) and that you are using at least one example of irony, sarcasm, hyperbole, and understatement in your video. (Check your vocab if you forgot what these mean!)
Your video should be at least 3 minutes long.

You will use this script to make a video using the iPads in the Media Center for the rest of the week. See the rubric for this assignment here. 
Once you have picked one Thing that Must Go, find a satirical way to show:

1. Why this is a problem
2. How you propose to solve this problem (remember that satire means you are bringing a problem to its logical conclusion, logic should be evident in your proposed solution.) 
3. Your evidence for why your solution will solve this problem and why or how you are experts in this problem area (come up with fake facts, make yourselves the fake "experts" in the area you are talking about)
