DescriptionPen and Paper Method

1. Have the students research and create their own notes on the different types of humour.

2. We suggest the outline format of note taking. The instructor may want to provide an outline for the students to follow or have the students create their own outline. This would depend on the ability level of the students. The provided outline, Investigating Humour, was created from the humour entry in The World Book Encyclopedia.

Sub-skills Needed:

1. Research strategies
2. Note taking strategies

Materials Needed

1. Reference materials for research (encyclopedia, books on humour, Internet, etc.)

2. Copies of the Notes on Humour handout if needed. If the instructor is having the students work alone, then one copy will be required for each student. If the instructor is dividing the class into groups to do the activity, then one copy per group will be required.
