Humour Unit

We have just started our final unit in Language Arts.  It is a fairly busy unit with a number of assignments and a lot of viewing/listening/responding.  Because so many of the lessons in this unit will involve a multimedia component, I will do my best to share the materials through the blog in case any students are absent.  Some items will be links while others might be downloadable files.  I will provide what I legally can, but be aware that any absences will create a challenge for catching up returning students.

There is a "Humour Files" file under the Share Documents link at the bottom of the page.

The unit will include among its assignments: joke telling, writing a fairy tale parody, evaluating and creating comic strips, critical analysis of various aspects of comedy (including ethics) and a culminating performance project.  Students will also be completing a response journal for the duration of the unit, keeping a record of a variety of multimedia pieces.
