Thursday- Using Humor in writing

Gary Soto is well known for including humor in his stories. As you read, note passages that are funny. For example, in the second paragraph on page 166, the author gives a funny description of Manuel as he shows Benny what he plans to do in the talent show. Think about what makes the passages funny. Find one passage and write it down then write a short paragraph about what makes it funny. Be prepared to share on Friday!
