Being really funny means you need to have a humor attitude. These worksheets shows Middle School students how to develop a humor attitude. The worksheets highlight the difference between being the ‘class clown’ or local ‘nitwit’, and focusses on looking at life with a sense of humor - using the lens of laughs. My classes really enjoy the focus I have on humor - I’m sure yours will too. Great activities and strategies for anyone wanting to let more humor in to their life. 17 pages in total including an answer key where necessary. I’d be really disappointed if anyone is not happy with these packs, so if that’s you, please get back to me and your money will be very happily refunded. I’d really like some feedback too, so all comments most welcome.

Essential Tips for Writing a Speech

(0)
25 Plus pages of worksheets for students to practice these tips and then compile them all in to a speech for any purpose. Includes an answer key. A good speech is like a good play, movie, or song. It is a form of entertainment. And like all entertainment, if it doesn’t entertain, then the feedback is immediate. There are not many classes that teach students how to write a speech, however there are many occasions in later life when we need to give a speech. These tips will help your students to develop an effective speech. The tips aren’t the normal ones (like, ‘make sure your speech has a beginning, a middle and an ending’). They are from many years of personal experience. I’ve written speeches for all occasions and a variety of professions.
