Okay, so here are a few guidelines that might help:
First, consider the question in the essay prompt. Write your
introduction as an explanation of what you think the question is asking,
and give a thoughtful reply. You can write the reply part after you've
written the body, if that helps.
The body should briefly summarize the text you want to discuss and the
extra piece of media you found. Then synthesize and reflect: how do
these two things relate to each other, and how do they relate to the
question? What evidence do they provide for your
answer? Can you make an argument? Do you have any criticisms of the
author or creator of the media, and how they use satire? If so, why are
these things problematic, why does it matter? Do you have other
thoughts about this subject? What is at stake? Why are
the pieces significant?
An entire conclusion paragraph isn't so necessary in such a short,
reflective piece, but you might include a sentence or two about any new
ideas or avenues of research these thoughts direct you to examine.
