Lesson Planet has helped me immensely! I have a great curriculum geared toward gifted and exceptional students. However, I need to differentiate so much (I am at a private school). Lesson Planet has been a GREAT supplement to these needs!

Bring humor into your own writing! Writers consider how professional authors create humor in their writing. They read and analyze comic strips and poetry to determine the devices used by writers to create humor. Some of the examples aren't particularly hilarious, so you might want to supplement them with additional examples.
