Wednesday Key Questions                           What purposes does comedy serve?                           What makes something funny? What makes attempts at humor fail? Why are these things often hard to articulate?                           Are there any forms of comedy that are virtually universal? How much is dependent on context? Why are some things considered funny in one culture – or for one gender – but not funny in or for another?                           Should any topics be off limits in comedy? Why or why not?                           Compared with serious drama, what challenges are there in creating and performing comedy?                         What does the popularity of “fake” or satirical news sources say about American society and culture?	Warm-up Vocabulary Book E Unit 1 Synonyms Evaluating Political Cartoons Getting Cartoonish: Students gather current and historical political cartoons from newspapers, magazines and other collections. They then analyze the cartoons in preparation for a discussion about the purpose of political cartoons: Is it to make people laugh, editorialize, summarize complicated issues, reflect what people are thinking or something else? As you present, you will display examples of political cartoons that support your ideas.  Students share the best cartoons in a “gallery walk” grouped by topic — or, of course, use published cartoons as models for creating their own.
