USING JOKES TO TEACH

Dear colleagues,

in case you haven �t yet come across this and you love using jokes to teach, check this out:

http://iteslj.org/c/jokes.html

Just a �teaser �...

"Am I the first man you have ever loved?" he said.
"Of course," she answered "Why do men always ask the same question?".

First of all, when they catch a spelling mistake you �ve made. That �s absolutely normal. Obviously that was lack of attention. Then if they ask you something you don �t know at that time, say you �ll check and tell them later on. That �s another normal situation that may happen a lot, and the adding of points, simply correct it and apologize. Those situations are all part of teachers � lives. Good luck. Giovanna

wonderful Anita ! my favorite in the one with Cinderella; and a lot exist in several languages I guess because I recognize some �classic � French ones !

Thanks for that laughing time dear !

I would like just to add one :

2 young men work in the same office. 1 of them marries a beautiful woman and they go in honeymoon. When he is back the friend asks him �Now that you�re married what do you miss the most ?�

The groom says �My evening train !�.

Good night all.

Maryse!

How about this one:

Little Tim: (coming home from school) Mommy? I have a drinking problem!

Mother: My God, Timmy, you �re only six!!!

Mother to Father: This is YOU �RE fault, George!

Father: MY fault??? Maybe if YOU �D spend more time with him!!!

Mother: Oh God! our six year old son has a drinking problem!!!!!!!!!!

Mother to father: He sure doesn �t need a role model like you for a father!!!

Father: Me? I �ve done NOTHING but give to this family, and THIS is what I get??? FINE! I �m leaving!

Mother: Well, FINE! I don �t need you, and surely TIMMY doesn �t need you either!

Mother: Timmy, oh, don �t cry sweetheart, we �ll be alright without daddy, I promise! Now, please trust me, I �m your friend, talk to me, tell me about your drinking problem. We �ll work it out together.

Little Tim: (takes out his Maths book out of his backpack) ... "if Joe drinks one liter of orange juice, and Bob drinks two liters, how much did they drink all together....?"
