A satire is a style of writing or art which ridicules or criticises its subject (individuals, ideals, institutions or society in general) often as an attempt to bring about change. Often they are humorous and witty. (It attacks foolishness by making fun of it) It is often used as irony, ridicule or sarcasm. For your task just try writing a piece of text that has some sort of satire in it. I hope this link helps. http://www.yourdictionary.com/grammar/examples/satire-examples.html

What examples are you considering? Maureen Dowd, the New York Times columnist is witty and hilarious as is The Daily Show's Jon Stewart.  Little Miss Sunshine, the film from 2006, satirizes beauty contests, family relationships, and other societal practices.
