Joke writing This week’s whole school topic is ‘Enjoyment’. A good way to spot enjoyment is by noticing people laughing, so this week’s English is all about making people laugh. On Thursday, we will get the chance to write something funny. Before that, we’ll learn about three different ways of doing this. Firstly, as we know, homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings. For instance, bear/bare, see/sea, which/witch, buy/by. Start by thinking of some homophones, then put them into sentences that use the wrong homophone. For example: I went to the cupboard, but it was bear.

Next, watch the clip from ‘The Dog Ate My Homework’ that is available online at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04gq3d8. While you watch it, ask yourself: Which jokes were funny? What makes them ‘bad’ jokes? How did the writer use homophones to create jokes? Then play the match up game and see if you can match the punchline with the set-up line. Once you have matched them up, read the jokes out loud. Which one did you think was the funniest and why? Each joke uses a homophone in some way - can you spot where the homophones are? Are there any that are almost homophones but have been changed in some way to make the joke funny? Finally, have a go at writing your own jokes using homophones. If you have to change or make up words a little bit to make the joke work then don’t worry; that’s half the fun! Share your jokes with a friend or family member and see which ones they like the most.

Writing a parody sketch

In today’s session we are going to create a spoof version of an advert. We will learn to recognise the conventions of TV advertising and to invert them in a

way that will be hilarious for an audience.

First of all: think of an activity you can do that doesn’t take too much physical effort, e.g. sleeping, reading, taking a bath, having a cup of tea. Write down all

the things you still have to do when doing those activities, even though they seem inactive; e.g. find a bed, put on bed sheets, fluff up pillows, turn out the

lights, lie down, close your eyes and count sheep... Try to list even the tiniest parts of the activity and see how far you can stretch it.

The items on this ‘activity list’ are what we call ‘conventions’ – they are conventional and people will generally expect that activity to happen that way.

Next, watch Diamond Dave Delaney’s Darts Workout at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04gpx3y

Which did you think was the funniest part?

What are all the things that the advert says you need to do to be a great darts player?

Look at the table which shows you all the information that

an advert can contain when you watch it. These are some

of the conventions of a TV advertisement. Watch the

Diamond Dave video again, this time collecting examples

in a table like this one.

Dave Delaney managed to get an entire exercise workout

from playing darts.

Now write your own advert for an exercise DVD that uses

the activity you listed earlier.

Try to include as many of the different conventions of

adverts as you can. If you want to, you can use the script

from the original show (on the next page) as a model to

help you lay out your script.

Comedy captions

In today’s sessions, we will learn to understand how to create short, effective comedy captions. These

combinations of words and pictures can be hilarious to read and share.

To begin, look at the five pictures of everyday images and their descriptions.

Do you think any of them are funny on their own?

Now rearrange the definitions of the pictures to see which combinations you find the funniest; for example,

An elephant... something you put on your head to keep yourself warm.

Write down your three funniest combinations.

Why do you think different combinations and absurdity can make what is usually an ordinary statement

funny for an audience?

Now look at the next picture – a still photo from a TV show.

To create a caption, we are going to answer the basic 5W questions twice; once accurately, and then again

with the strangest answers that we can think of.

Question Real answer Silly answer

Who are they? Two young girls Ancient milkshake makers

What are they wearing? Old-fashioned school uniform Their company uniform

Why are they there? Filming a TV show about magic

potions

Setting up a market stall to sell

their shakes

When is it happening? Daytime Tuesday lunchtime

Where are they? An old building; maybe a church Their local theatre

How did they get there? Probably by car In a time machine made of spoons

From the silly answers, we can make up a single sentence to serve as a funny caption for the photo. For example, Having arrived in a time machine made of spoons, two ancient milkshake makers

set up their stall to sell shakes to thirsty theatre guests on Tuesday.

On the next page are three more photos for which we will make up funny captions.

Here is a similar table filled out for the first picture on the sheet.

Question Real answer Silly answer

Who are they? Two people doing a fun run They are burglars

What are they wearing? A horse costume and a bright red

jacket

He is dressed as a postbox

Why are they there? Taking part in a fun run for

charity

They have come to steal things

When is it happening? Daytime Thursday morning

Where are they? In front of a grand building Buckingham Palace

How did they get there? By running They jumped over the fence using

trampolines

Could there be another version of what could be happening? Finally, use the same questions that we asked ourselves above to write captions for the rest of the photos below.

Thursday: planning

Before we write, we’ll now collect our favourite ideas from the last three days to help us to decide on our focus for

the final writing opportunity.

What were your favourite jokes, parody features and captions?

Record them in the boxes alongside other notes and ideas of the same type.

Comedians and musicians. call this ‘riffing’ - coming up with lots of ideas quickly to see what further ideas pop up.

Captions

Thursday: writing

When you’re ready to write, think about how it will be presented.

Comedians might perform their ‘bit’ aloud, as a stand up comedian, especially for jokes that work best

when you can hear them. They might also create a parody or spoof so that the writing or sketch looks like

something else (e.g. a fitness DVD advert). If the jokes are more visual, like yesterday’s comedy captions,

their writing might be turned into an animation or a slideshow.

Whatever you choose, this is one of your last opportunities to write before the summer break, so go wild!

Please share your outcome with family and friends, and we would love to enjoy them on Class Dojo or

Tapestry too.
