What is a Spoof? It is a piece of writing that mimics the organization or general topic of another piece of writing that mimics the organization or general topic of another piece of writing to create humour.

this website (https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-of-the-funniest-song-parodies-of-all-time-on-youtube/) has some music spoofs which are rather funny.

1- Choose a location or situation as a starting point for your spoof. For example you could say "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Gym Class" or " All I Really Need to Know I Learned on the Internet."

2- Think about different events that might happen in the location or situation you've chosen. Try to come up with at least Five items. If you can't think of five items, you may want to choose another location or situation.

3- Think about a life lesson that might come about from each item on your list.

4- Write your spoof, using the organization of "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" as a model. You'll need to write an introduction and a conclusion too.

5- Use a peer to help you edit.

6- Remember to model the work after the original in length, title and style.
