Dive into the world of humour with this engaging, laughter-filled slideshow designed for grades 10-12! This 25+ slide presentation covers everything from slapstick and parody to more advanced concepts like satire and bawdy humor, each clearly defined with examples and hilarious video clips to illustrate most types. Perfect for setting the stage before introducing A Midsummer Night's Dream, this slideshow gives students the tools to understand and enjoy the humour in Shakespeare and beyond.

Some videos include a brief disclaimer so teachers can preview and choose the best fit for their classroom needs. As a fun bonus, this resource pairs beautifully with my Humorous Love Letter Assignment (also available on my TPT site) for a seamless transition into humour-infused writing activities. Having used this with my own students, I’ve seen how it turns learning into a laugh-filled experience everyone looks forward to—sure to become a classroom favorite!
