Satire is everywhere in our society: Family Guy, The Simpsons, The Rick Mercer Report, Saturday Night Life. Using humor and sarcasm is an entertaining way to criticize some aspect of our society. You may want to consider a satirical approach to the original composition section of the provincial exam. It's an opportunity to showcase your creativity and wit.
Your task for this blog is to write a detailed paragraph that is critical of some aspect of Princess Margaret Secondary. One of the challenges is to pick a topic that has some importance. It could be a criticism of the culture of our school, or of the education system more generally.
Another challenge of this assignment is to use heavy sarcasm - but not come across as whinny. If your focus is that classes start too early in the morning (8:40am), you may come across as a complaining adolescent rather than an intelligent young adult with an insightful observation about education.
Don't forget to put some thought into your title!
