Good Morning!

*Head’s Up:  we are almost done our short story unit…next week there will be a test on the short stories, prose fiction terms (application of terms to stories) and you will have a “sight story” one you have never read before.

In groups, look for devices and humour used in Stuart MacLean’s “Dave Cooks a Turkey”.  On office 365 or whatever you may choose, find examples of humour throughout the short story.  What techniques did Maclean use to create humour?
