![]() ![]() ![]() At this time, and for many years afterward, Ireland (not an independent country) was far poorer than England. ![]() Swift published the Modest Proposal in 1729 as a pamphlet (a kind of essay in an unbound booklet). In such cases, where the guide refers to writing, you may respond by speaking.Ī Modest Proposal was written by Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), who is well-known as the author of the satirical political fantasy, Gulliver's Travels. The tasks may work well as speaking and listening activities you are encouraged to present these live or make use of tape-recording or multi-media software recording to show your work. If you wish to use computer software for your work, this is quite appropriate. If you wish to work traditionally these activities can be done in an exercise book, or as a booklet using your own skills in illustration and writing. Read the text thoroughly - perhaps with some help from a teacher, and attempt one of the tasks described on this guide - or agree some other task with your teacher. The guide suggests ways of responding to Jonathan Swift's pamphlet A Modest Proposal for preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick. This study guide has been written for students and their teachers in KS3 and KS4 in the UK but may be suitable for students elsewhere.
