Burcu Akyol sent me some drawings from one of her classes. She asked her students to draw a man with a baby gorilla talking to a policeman in the street. Students were then asked to consider what was happening and create dialogs. This is a preparation stage for an activity from my new book (that’s it there on the right →)

The activity is called, “The Baby Gorilla Joke” and in a lame attempt to ecourage book sales, I should refuse to say what the joke is. But that wouldn’t be fair. You can see it here.

I’ve used this activity quite a few times and one thing I’ve learned is how difficult baby gorillas are to draw. I think these artists did a great job. What are their names Burcu?
