An easy way to perform satire is to play the role of a news reporter. Then take a recent event such as the big brother debacle...
EG. (Something to build on)
Breaking news, Channel 4 have announced the are sending Jade Goody to india in an attempt to improve relations following the big brother debacle. When questioned Jade said she was really looking forward to it as she had never been to bradford before.

Alexander Pope wrote The Rape of the Lock (1714), a mock epic about the crisis that occurs when a lock of Lady Belinda's hair is snipped off by a suitor as she sips her coffee. The poem is based upon an actual happening, and Pope's Horatian tone gently castigates the frivolous life of London society.
You might be able to use this idea

Jonathon Swift's, "A Modest Proposal"....Late 1800's England was stricken with paupers (beggars); Johnathon Swift Preposed that the wealthy class should eat the pheasant babies..satirically of course. He was poking fun at the decadent upper class.

The Simpsons, especially in the earlier seasons, is a great example of satire.

Figure out some way to use Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" - your teacher will be very impressed !
It should be easy to figure out how to act it out.
