Christmas Song/poem Parody Christmas Song/poem Parody Create a parody to share with your class. Either individually or with a partner, choose a Christmas Carol or christmas poem to parody. You will want to parody the rhyme scheme and the rhythm. Remember the humor of a parody is based upon the audience's comparison of the original and the imitation, so the audience needs to be familiar with the original. If you work with a partner, both will receive the same score. All project topics must be approved by me.
