1.Hand students copies of the Scream Street Joke Book.
2.Explain to students that they are going to use the jokes to tell their own stories, which star their favourite Scream Street characters.
3.Start with the first joke:
“What’s the first thing Dr Skulley does when his pupils arrive?
He takes the register of deaths.”
Explain to students that they’ll be writing a story about Luke, Resus and Cleo, who are held captive by the Shadow Pony from MLP: FiM. How did they get kidnapped by the Shadow Pony? Does Dr Skulley form a search party?
4.Explain to students that Shadow Pony’s trying to steal the trio’s souls so that he could bring his minions from the Underlands to life. Dr Skulley has formed a rescue party to save them. How do they stop them? Is there a secret formula they can use to be rescued?
5.Have students finish the story on paper, then read out their stories one by one to the whole class.
6.Give your students a joke from the Scream Street Joke Book each, and ask them to write a story based around each one they pick. Have them write their stories.
7.Have your students read out each of their stories to the class.
8.Ask students to reflect upon what they’ve learned. Did they learn any literacy skills? If so, what did they learn from just a simple joke book?
