It is important for any student to understand the difference between the two types of humour - one that hurts and offends, compared to the type that makes you feel good, energised and relaxed, and there are no victims that feel bad.
These ten worksheets focus on helping Middle School students identify the difference between the types of humour.
The worksheets analyse the Sarcastic Wit, the Nit Wit, and the Clowning Wit.
I have found that teaching humour in the classroom is such fun - of course - and it can have relevance to many parts of the curriculum.
Answer key included
"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” - Groucho Marx
“The problem with common sense is that most people are morons.” - The Sarcasm Society
Sarcasm can be witty, but in the school environment it can be hurting. Teach your students to recognise sarcasm and to be careful with its use.
This bundle includes a great introductory Full Quality narrated slidedeck that introduces the topic of sarcasm.
The slidedeck includes:
- samples from Groucho Marx,
- how sarcasm can hurt others,
- some samples for students to test their sarcasm detector, and
- some examples for sarcastic body language.
The bundle also includes a starter pack of humour worksheets centred around the topic of Sarcasm.
Topics include:
- Irony v Sarcasm
- Sarcasm Detector
- Sarcasm as Verbal Bullying
- Groucho Marx and his form of Sarcasm
- Comparing Sarcasm with being Sincere
- Plotting types of Sarcasm on the Nasty v Nice scale, and the Funny v not Funny scale
… and more
Great fun for the classroom, but this pack also relates to the topic of emotional bullying and how some words that seem funny to others can impact a victim’s feelings.
Some great investigative worksheets on the cross-curriculum topic of Graffiti. Here I have used student interest in the topic to explore various cross-curriculum areas such as math, social science, debate, visual arts, and history.
I find the cross curriculum nature of these units provide so many learning opportunities.
The packs covers the following topics:
- Street Artists such as Banksy
- School policy on dealing with graffiti
- Investigation on graffiti removal products - reading a chart
- Experimenting in Street Art
- Art v Vandalism arguments
- Creating a Tag
- History of Graffiti
- Graffiti Poetry Response
This is NOT a course in Graffiti, but rather a stimulus pack of activities that uses various skills to investigate the topic of Graffiti. Suitable to Middle Schools Students in both interest and ability level.
