“A Comedy of Me”
In this activity, students create jokes and other comic elements that they might have used to sway Zhuri opinion on Choom.
Lan engages the Zhuri with comedy, which gradually starts to change Zhuri opinion of them, especially among the students at school. Much comedy has universal appeal, and though Lan draws upon human experience, the other species on Choom understand them.
Teaching Suggestion: Students can engage in pre-activity discussion on appropriateness regarding humor and jokes, providing a way to establish guidelines before they work on the activity.
