- How
Ironic! - a lesson plan (learnnc.org)
"This lesson will introduce students to the concept of irony.
Verbal, situational, and dramatic irony will be defined, but the focus
of the lesson is situational irony. This lesson can be used prior to
teaching longer, more complex short stories that contain situational
irony."
"Students will:
- discriminate between the 3 types of irony: verbal, situational and
dramatic.
- determine the purpose of the irony: humor, fear, suspense, etc.
- identify the situational irony in the selection and the purpose.
- write a summary of the reading selection and discuss the use of situational
irony in the selection in at least 2 paragraphs."
