Program Description: The Art of Wacky We-search: Writing and Laughing Across the Curriculum Who says research reports and informational writing have to be dry and boring? Trade in the dump truck essay for something far more meaningful and fun and exceed the State Standards in the process. Based on Barry's best-selling non-fiction children's book , 51 Wacky We-search Reports, this session will give you scores of ideas for transforming research writing assignments in your class. You will also learn that because humorists have to make people laugh, they have to explore a subject from more than one angle, ask provocative questions, and stir the thinking pot. The best humor writing is rigorous learning.
