Xtranormal Project -- Due Wed. May 1

This project will be the first of three projects dealing with Humor.  The other two projects will consist of a Humorous Skit (either filmed or acted live) followed by a written story that matches the criteria covered in the stories we have been reading in class.

In the criteria below, students had input into how this assignment will be marked.  If there are any questions or concerns, please let me know. 

Note:  Since the intended audience are their fellow classmates, students are encouraged to get feedback from their fellow peers.  It is hoped that this feedback will allow students to think about what they have done and make any necessary changes.
