Stand Up Comedy Routine and Presentation

Students are to create a 3-5 minute stand up comedy skit and present it to the class. Props are optional, but limited to two. Two of the "comedic joke lines" must be original, using criteria learned about creating jokes. Two of the lines may be borrowed but need to make sense with the overall presentation. They may not not be vulgar, crude, racist or inappropriate in any way. In the written presentation, the students must acknowledge the person(s) whose work they borrowed.
