Essential Questions

You know those funny kids in class? They’re always looking for people who get them. They’re like any other storyteller, searching for a connection. And your classroom is just the place for them to find it. When laughter is shared and positive, it’s like a magic wand, creating strong bonds between teacher and students, and even between students from different backgrounds. In this digital age, comedy can also facilitate social change by attracting attention, disarming audiences, and fostering sharing and discussion. 

In this lesson students will explore how they can use the digital landscape to express their unique voice.
