1.  What is comedy? What makes something funny? There are no rules as comedy is subjective.

During this term you will begin your journey to explore comedy as an art form and, hopefully, laugh all along the way.

2.  Let's look at  what we will be doing this term. . .

3.  Warm-up


The "I'm Cool & So Are You" warm-up game is good for working with new groups of people who do not know each other.


4.  Now, let's watch the Modern Family pilot.  Remember that the "pilot" episode is the first episode of a series and tends to identify characters and plot line. Why is this series entitled "Modern Family"?  What can you surmise from the title?
