Submit your postIf you have an amazing older post that you have written on humor in the ELT field (EFL, ESL, ESP, EAP, etc.) send it my way.Alternatively, if you feel inspired, you can write up a new post. There are SO MANY different aspects of humor you can touch on. If you are stuck, look at these questions for inspiration:Do you have a lesson that revolves around a funny movie clip or a silly joke? Perfect!Do you have a knock knock joke you use in class that is an example of blended speech? We'd love to see it!Do you have a rewards system or class theme that is funny? Share it!Have you read a book about using humor in the classroom and you want to review it? Awesome!Is there a website with funny quotes you use in class? Review it!Is there a tech tool you use that makes your students laugh? Explain it!How much humor is OK or When is humor not appropriate? Discuss it!Do you have a story about a time humor really brought a student out of his/her shell? We'd LOVE to hear it.As you can see there are TONS of opportunities! Simply find the topic that calls out to you!If you feel inspired to write but you don't have a blog, contact me! I would be pleased to host you as a guest blogger.When you write a new post it would be nice to include a link to here http://eslcarissa.blogspot.com/2014/07/preparing-for-august-elt-blog-carnival.html so your readers can learn more and participate if they would like.Share this post so others can get involved!

Hi Carissa
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a carnival!
I have two contributions from my blog. The first, My Blackberry is not Working, is full of puns and double meanings and the second, based on an urban legend, always gets a big laugh at the end.

Great Steve Thanks!
DeleteHi Carissa,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to have stumbled upon your post. Found the same on LinkedIn and am tempted to include three of my pieces.
The first of these was published on Yahoo Voices as I was a Yahoo contributor. Sadly though Yahoo has discontinued this site for good. I have a copy of the page on my blogsite.Am sharing the same here.
