I Speak

Nowadays, we mostly see clowns in circuses and comedians in shows or on TV. They
perform for large audiences and entertain everyone.

Have you ever tried to speak to clowns or the other members of a circus? What do
you think motivates them to entertain and put up shows for the public?

Try to interview a person who entertains others. It could be a clown, comedian, storyteller,
magician, trapeze artist or a tightrope walker. Share this interview with your classmates.

A few questions that you can ask are:

What got you interested Since when have you
in this art? been working in this field?

Who taught you
Why do you like to
this art?
entertain people?

Divide the class into groups of three or four. Each group prepares an act in which all
the members of the group act like clowns and present short jokes or stories individually.
