They’re Made Out of Meat



by Terry Bisson




I love introducing students to science fiction.

We really don’t use it enough in our English

classes. In this story, two aliens discuss the

bizarre new life form they’ve discovered and

try to figure out how it thinks and lives.

Your students will laugh out loud when they

discover that the aliens are talking about

humans and love figuring out the everyday

activities and items the aliens just can’t

seem to make sense of.



In class: This is perfect for introducing a new

genre to students. After reading, ask students

 to craft their own science-fiction short story.

As a class, brainstorm a list of activities of

events that take place all the time that we

think are totally normal. Then, ask students

 to write their version of an alien race trying

to figure out a birthday party, after-school

detention, or lunch in the school cafeteria.


 


Laugh and Learn: 15 funny stories from the marketing, advertising and  public relations industries with serious lessons | MarketingSherpa


Charles by Shirley Jackson


 by Shirley Jackson



Written by the same woman who wrote the

eerie short story “The Lottery,” this story is

guaranteed to make students of all ages

chuckle. The tale of the worst kindergarten

student ever, as told by a student in the same

 class to his mother at the end of every school

 day, your students will love hearing all about

Charles’s antics. The twist at the end of the

tale will make students gasp and giggle.



In class: Perfect for lessons on irony, your

students can debate whether Jackson’s funny

 short story demonstrates verbal, situational,

or dramatic irony. I’ve also used this story to

show students how an author can utilize

dialogue as a method for developing

characterization.


 


Thank You, Ma’am


 by Langston Hughes



Like “Charles,” this is another classic,

 well-known story. An older woman takes

 a young man under her wing after he

attempts to steal her purse. As they spend

time together, she teaches him a valuable

 lesson about life.It’s perfect for upper-

elementary and middle school students.



In class: This is one of those funny short

stories that lends itself to lessons about

dialogue, diction, theme,and

characterization. It’s also a great text to

 use for practice discussions or Socratic

seminars. Students could easily develop

questions about the actions of the

characters. They could consider how they

would have responded in the same

situation. And they could even reimagine

the story as if it were written today.


 


Lord Oakhurst’s Curse

 


by O. Henry



While many students will have read “The

Gift of the Magi,” this short story by the

same author is much less well known.

Lord Oakhurst is dying, his wife is grieving

(or is she?), and a doctor arrives to try to

help. Your students will be shocked and

amused by this quick read.



In class: Indirect characterization leaps to

the foreground in this funny short story as

students can debate whether Lord

Oakhurst’s wife is truly as sad as she says

 she is throughout the story. The story also

 makes use of flashbacks, making it great

 for introducing or reviewing that concept.


 



Wealthy Teen Nearly


Experiences Consequence




 by The Onion Staff



Satire is a tough genre for so many

students. The popular satirical online

news magazine The Onion comes to the

rescue here with a hysterical piece that,

while not a short story exactly, certainly

tells a tale students will guffaw over.

 In the article, students learn the plight

of a young man who almost received

severe consequences for driving while

under the influence. Some satirical pieces

 are almost too serious for students to see

as satire, but this one does a great job of

taking a serious subject and turning it on

its head to make a point.




In class: This piece is perfect for students

who aren’t ready to grapple with some of

the more complex satirical pieces they’re

often given in school. If your group isn’t

quite ready for Swift’s A Modest Proposal,

 this is a great place to start. As an

introduction to satire, pairing this piece

with actual news reports of cases where

privileged young people have received

shockingly light sentences for serious

crimes will definitely keep your students

engaged (and enraged?).


 



"One time my AP US History teacher


was in the middle of a lecture on


Reconstruction after the Civil War, when


she looked down at the scarf she was


wearing, pulled out a single Cheeto and


 said,'Oooh, a Cheeto!' as if she'd struck


gold. She then just continued teaching."




------------------------------------------



"My history teacher was quite dramatic


and taught with props. One day, he tied


 a huge Soviet flag around his neck. He


got mad at us for some reason and went


 to storm out of the class. He tried to


take off the flag first, but he'd knotted it


too tight. So he stormed out, slammed


the door, and walked around the school


hallways for 10 minutes sporting a


Soviet flag as a cape before coming


back. He was the best teacher I ever


had."




-------------------------------------------



"I had a teacher who dressed up as


 Batman for Halloween and decided to


surprise us by being perched up on the


radiator before we got to class. He tried


to get down when we all came in, but


tripped over his cape and fell. I lost the


video sadly, but I know some of my



classmates posted it on social. It’s out


there somewhere!"


 



"One time, my English teacher told us


 that he would have a substitute the next


day. We came to class and, five minutes


after the bell, he showed up in a giant fur


coat, a fake mustache, a fur hat, and was


speaking in a thick Russian accent. He


was pretending to be a dead Russian


author and the skit went on for 30


 minutes until his mustache started


 falling off."





-----------------------------------------------------------------------



"During an A-level lesson my teacher


was struggling to draw a bird's wing to


illustrate mechanics. He suddenly


cleaned the blackboard and left the


classroom without saying a word. A


couple of minutes later he returned


holding a live chicken — no idea where


he got it — and proceeded with the


 lesson as if nothing odd was happening."





--------------------------------------------



"I had a teacher in high school who was


OBSESSED with Star Wars. I’m talking


life-sized cut outs in the classroom,


posters covering the wall, etc. On May


 4th every year (Star Wars day), he would


bring in seven different Star Wars shirts


and change every class. He also


ALWAYS had Star Wars music playing


at the beginning of class."


 



"I had an American Literature teacher


when I was in school back in the '80s


whose catchphrase at the end of every


class was 'Don't do anything I wouldn't


do...but if you do, name it after me!'"




-----------------------------------------------------------------------



"I had an AP Human Geography teacher


who would literally give you a zero on


your assignment if you did it in pencil.


Her classroom slogan was, 'The only


kind of pen I don’t like is pencil.' She was


such a great teacher, though."




-----------------------------------------------



 "I had a Spanish teacher in middle school


 who printed out pictures of telescopes


and taped them under our chairs because


 'telescopes help you focus!'"




--------------------------------------------



  "I had a teacher in middle school who


dressed up as 'Semicolon Man,' with a full


cape and all, to help teach us punctuation.


 I’m still not 100% sure when to use a


semicolon, but I do know I’ll never forget


that."



 



"My teacher thinks the word 'test' is too


harsh, so instead she tells us we’re having


a 'celebration of knowledge.' It’s never a


celebration."



----------------------------------------------------


"One high school teacher I had would


bellow 'Turn or buuuurn!' anytime he saw


 a student not facing the board. It was


bizarre, but really entertaining. If you riled


him up enough, sometimes he would


forget to assign anything."


 


 

 "My middle school science teacher


stuck Post-It notes on the ceiling that


said, 'The answer is not up here'


because he was tired of students


 looking up to avoid answering


questions."


==============================


"In sixth grade, my English teacher


claimed that she could 'do magic' and


had a 'magic wand.' Basically — if you


were acting up — she would come and


tap your head with it."



=============================



"I had a teacher in college who would


 ALWAYS say, 'And once again!' to start


a new sentence. One time, we tallied up


how many times he said it in one class


and I think it was close to 50?!"



 


  

"My French professor once


stopped class and looked up


everyone’s astrological signs


(including all of the rising signs and


whatnot) with an online calculator.


C’est très important en France,


apparently?"




---------------------------------------


"I had a teacher in high school who


straight-up used a small water gun on


kids who fell asleep in class."




-----------------------------------------------


"At the beginning of the first math


lesson of the school year, our teacher


came into the classroom wearing a


sparkly party hat and danced to


'Maneater' by Nelly Furtado."




------------------------------------------------



"I used to have an English teacher who


 would whip out his guitar in the middle


of class and just start playing it during


silent reading time???"



---------------------------------------------



14. "One time, during silent reading in


Art History, my teacher (who had a


thick German accent) jumped up from


his desk, yelled, 'Guys! My cats!'


 Then ran out the door with no further


explanation and didn’t return for 45


minutes."





-------------------------------------



"I had a math teacher who — on the


first day of class — handed out little


pieces of paper and asked everyone


 to sign them. When we asked why,


 he said, 'In case one of you become


famous one day!'"
