Comedy Warm-Up Tasks: Part 5 of 5

Ladies and gentlemen, the handout itself: 


As I said before, I don't believe I ever used this in the classroom, and I believe part of my reason to expound on this handout was to consider the functionality and potential of the ideas. See the other articles in this series, the first one, the second one, the third one, and the fourth one, for breakdowns on these activities. They are described, nine at a time for all 36 of these activities. 

My own evaluation is that many of these activities could be done separately away from the handout, and that the handout could be done as a review handout. The handout itself could be in color and designed to look even more like a soccer field, with the instruction to go faster than when these activities were encountered earlier. It's a bit of a kitchen-sink approach, having 36 prompts in one place, and it may be better to sprinkle these throughout a semester than to have them all in one place. In other words, this is at best an end-of-semester handout that encourages better activities.

Many of these could be turned into writing assignments, where two to four of these prompts are given to a student, and the student chooses one to do. 


If some of these questions were adapted to a game board such as for yutnori (a traditional Korean board game), the harder or potentially more embarrassing or personal questions could be put in the X section of the board, and the less intimidating questions could be on the sides.

Thank you for following this discussion to the end! It is an unusual thing to write about, this warehoused resource,

The Most Thoughtful Horror Story for Children

Image
Your eleven- or twelve-year-old child or student needs to read a good seven-page comic-book horror story. It contains no superheroes, has an intriguing hook, and lots of potential for the child to think about. It's called "The Demon Within" and it's a classic from the early 1970s.  DC Comics at that time had the best anthology titles for horror and humor, and House of Secrets was one of their titles. It was edited by Joe Orlando, an artist who got his start at EC Comics, considered the greatest publisher of horror comics. He came up with the plot for this story, which was featured in House of Secrets number 201, and gave it to John Albano to flesh out. The art -- the drawing, inking, and lettering -- was done by the very talented Jim Aparo, a versatile Batman artist from the 70s. House of Secrets stories were self-contained but connected by a host, who welcomed the reader in to the story at the beginning with a little narration. Cain was his name, a sort of Ichabod-Cr...

John Ridpath (1936-2021): An Orator for Hallowed Ground

Image
We lost a great man with the passing of Dr. John Ridpath, the well-known professor of  intellectual history at York University in Toronto, a fellow Objectivist, and an excellent public speaker.  In 1992, I saw John Ridpath speak at Conceptual Conferences, an Objectivist conference I went to in Williamsburg, Virginia. His speech on the history of Virginia and its impact on America's founding featured his own passion for the American Revolution. When he spoke about how this state went from the Jamestown settlement to the battle of Yorktown, he was sometimes moved to tears, as was the audience, including yours truly.  The speech carried well in the conference room, due to the microphone and speakers, to be sure, but also to his six-foot height and his deeply resonant voice. Every point seemed to hit home. The moment he ended this 100-minute speech with "Thank you," there was an immediate standing ovation from most of the room of 300 people. He was the best orator I had ever ...

Comedy Warm-Up Tasks: Part 1 of 5

Image
Many years ago, I made a handout entitled Comedy Warm-Up Soccer. I never used this, but made it anyway, as a tool for making people funnier. Essentially, these were tasks I had come up with long ago, and I just found it in a long-neglected folder. Perhaps I should de-neglect these folders because this looks interesting. These tasks could be used in a classroom that is meant to promote creativity in some way, such as a course of adult English learners that are intermediate or higher. I think for many students you might have to build a lesson around each task, depending on its complexity and linguistic or structural requirements. Let me explain each of these briefly. The entire list is 36 items, so perhaps these should be introduced slowly. There will be a fifth entry showing the handout itself with any bookending remarks I would need. Five Mismatched Guests for dinner are coming over. Who are they? Just list the guests. The idea here is that none of these would normally be toge...
