8.2. Let’s organize a poster competition.
          To the teacher:
          •  Assign  each  student  to  prepare  a  poster  that  creates  awareness  against  drug

              addiction.
          •  Assign this as homework.
          •  Make it an individual competition.
          •  Evaluate on the basis of art, skill and message the poster carries.

          •  Post the best poster on the magazine/notice board of the school.


          8.3. Read and enjoy:


               A.    Judge   : Why did you steal the car?
                        Man    : I had to get to work.

                        Judge   : Why didn’t you take the bus?

                        Man    : I didn’t have the driving license for bus.



               B.  The police stop an old guy in questionable condition at 1 am.

                     “What are you doing out so late, sir?” asks the police officer.

                     “I’m  going  to  a  seminar  on  ‘The  harmful  effects  of  alcohol’,”

                     replies the man.
                     “Are  you  pulling  my  leg  or  something?!“  says  the  police

                     officer,  who  would  hold  a  seminar  like  that  at  this  hour?!”

                     The man sighs, “my wife.”



               C.   Bridget asks her friend Paul, “Paul, would you say I’m pretty or

                     ugly?”

                     “A bit of both, actually,” replies the friend.

                     “How do you mean that?” asks the puzzled Bridget.
                     “I’d say you’re pretty ugly.”
