For example, one of the songs my students will be discussing is the song "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt and it's parody done by MadTV. Incorporating popular culture should make for a lively discussion and high student engagement.

Media Integration
As I'm writing my unit plan, I'm finding that media is a key part of my instruction. For example, I'm using YouTube video clips to give visuals of parodies (songs and clips from movies). Part of my unit is talking about song parodies-Something that I hope will keep students engaged and get them excited for the unit. Also, I think clips, whether it be music videos or clips from movies, lighten the mood of the classroom and provide students with a visual of what we're talking about.

Your unit plan seems to rely heavily on media resources so I would suggest you assess equally with writing assessments as you do media application to ensure they are learning more traditional practices as well. I think these two videos, and your overall concept, would do wonders in teaching satire.
