I originally used this activity with "The Taming of the Shrew", but I have generalized it here for use as a review of puns and homophones in general. Students are required to create puns using homophones as they write an insult scene. An example is given, as well as a rubric for the presentations and a student handout explaining the assignment.
I have fiftenn years of teaching experience in a small town, rural school district. I have taught freshmen, sophomores, juniors, honors sophomores and honors juniors.
