Who is the Satire poster for?

Satire is filed under 10th Grade (ages 15–16), so it matches what that year asks a child to remember. It is equally useful to an older student revisiting literacy, and to the parent or teacher answering the question at the kitchen table.

When should you use the Satire poster?

What other posters go with Satire?
