Comedy WritingBased on SOL objectives, and taught within a cooperative learning environment, students learn how to take the raw material from their own lives and use joke writing formulas to write and perform funny jokes.
Using a balance of lecture, exercise, and feedback on work from the instructor and classmates, this course gives students a firm grounding in all the basics of joke writing and performance.
