Yes, the sun may no longer set on the great Empire but so many schools still teach their literature.

    I didn't see any allusions there yet but MC POP member Luke Rodesiler runs the use Use Your Allusion! wiki. Your allusions could be added!! it is very cool.

    I am teaching A Modest Proposal and I have been searching for modern written satire that would correlate. Any ideas?  Let me know!

    Hi Rachel - do consider posting your question up above so I can share it as a crowdsource ? with its own url - see this link. Stuff on the wall gets lost/ buried.

    That said my wife used this article with her class (and if you post as a CS I'll repost it above!) -Industrial Revolution Provides Millions Of Out-Of-Work Children Wit...

    And of course you might also dig Newt G's proposal for poor kids to clean toilets (brilliantly explored on the daily show) - unfortunately that is NOT satire.

    If you post above in the discussion forum I'll add these links there too!
