| From classbrain.com English I am a TA for a Special Ed basic English class. We are teaching grammar and parts of speech and I would like to find a source of humorous sentences, lyrics to popular songs, lines from poetry, anything interesting for the students to circle the verbs, underline the nouns, punctuate etc. Is there a source of such sentences or paragraphs? For Lyrics http://www.BusSongs.com BusSongs.com was created to help people recall the words t camp songs, lullabies and nursery rhymes. A great collection! http://www.scoutsongs.com Just what it sounds like: all the songs that you learn as a scout, including rounds and patriotic songs. The following sites are huge compendiums of popular song lyrics. But be forewarned that they all have really obnoxious pop-up ads on their sites: For poetry: Silly Poems by Rick Walton There are riddles and other funny things on this site. Use the top arrows to find more. www.rickwalton.com/funstuff/funpoems.htm Silly Poems A UK site full of fun. The poems are broken into categories such as holidays, machines, and animals. adlib.blogs.com/silly_poems/ Huge anthologies of poetry are available at Bartlebys. They have some pop-ups too so be sure to have your pop-up blocker on. www.bartleby.com/verse/ Humorous Short Stories A large collection. (popups again). They are ranked by page length and they have been given a content rating similar to the film industry (G, PG, R) Although, it appears almost all of them fall into the PG range. www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/humourindex.html Best American Humorous Short Stories Classic collections from Project Gutenberg. www.gutenberg.org/etext/10947 Posted to Judy Vorfeld's Office Support Services www.ossweb.com/ © Copyright 2003 by classbrain.com |
