Period 5 Speaking and Writing
The General Idea of This Period
This period includes speaking and writing,which offers the students an opportunity to develop their comic skills and learn to write humourous stories.
Before class,the students are required to prepare a joke or funny story in pairs.In class,the teacher and the students will have a discussion about what is a good way to tell a joke,and then put these ideas into practice when they tell their own jokes or stories.Before writing the teacher can take the story of Mary and the plums as an example to discuss with the students the structure of a humourous story,the last line (or punch line) to make the story funny,and how to organize the stages in a logical order.
