Do Now:(Pair/Share) what are your favorite corny jokes? Share!!
We told our corny jokes to the whole class and it was painful but that was the intro to the comedy lesson that we did.
Here are some examples of puns that were said
What's brown and sticky? A stick.
Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was out-standing in his field
What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta
After that we had a discussion of why comedy is much harder to read than tragedies. We said comedy is harder to read because the sense of humor back then is much different than now and as time passes comedy will change. Unlike comedies tragedies are consistent through time and everyone gets the gist of someone dying.
We then learned about the different types of comedic structures in the book Much Ado About Nothing
Finally we finished reading Act I scene i in Much Ado About Nothing
