Inquiry Question: What is funny?
Your task is to answer the above question by creating something funny and uploading it to your blog.
Step 1:  Produce/create something funny.
Step 2: Write a 1-2 page explanation of why your creation is funny.  Explain what type of comedy you have created and why it meets the criteria of that type of comedy.
Step 3:  Reflect.  In your explanation, include a 1-2 paragraph reflection on the experience of creating something humourous.  What was challenging/easy about the process?
