Bellringer • In your NOTEBOOKS, write today’s date, then answer the following questions. • Which lines from the poem provide the BEST example of imagery? • A. “I am cinema./I live on celluloid.” • B. “A fool trips and falls unharmed./A pompous clown with a cream pie face.” • C. “I make you cry./but also make you know/what it means to be human.” • D. “I am cinema./I make you think.” • (HEADS UP!!!!! You will be taking the EOC in 2 weeks (April 15-16). This test is a HUGE deal for your high school career, so you need to make sure you are paying attention and asking questions over the next couple of weeks!

  3. Objectives • After today’s lesson, you will be able to: • Define and use the 3 types of irony. • Understand the purpose of each of the 3 types of irony.

  4. What do these 3 passages have in common? • After being in class all day you finally go outside to see that it’s raining. You turn to your friend and say, “Lovely weather.” • On your way to help with the dishes after Thanksgiving dinner, you drop a stack onto the floor and they shatter. Your younger brother says, “Nicely done. Very graceful.” • The night before your EOC, you stay out partying instead of studying. When you get your test score back you see that you have failed. When you tell your friend he says, “Guess all that studying paid off.”

  5. Answer • In all 3 passages, a person is saying something OPPOSITE of what they actually mean. This is called VERBAL IRONY.

  6. NOTES • In your NOTEBOOKS, write down the following information. • VERBAL IRONY-a statement saying one thing while meaning the opposite, with the purpose of criticizing. • Basically sarcasm • Can be tricky to identify • (Verbal Irony Example)

  8. Situational irony • The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. After rehabilitation, a special ceremony was held where two of the most expensively saved animals were released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers…(to be continued) • What do you expect to happen after the animals were released?

  9. Situational irony • The rest of the story… • A minute after both animals were released, they were eaten by a killer whale. • Do you think the onlookers expected this to happen? • This is an example of SITUATIONAL IRONY.

  10. notes • In your NOTEBOOK, write down the following information. • SITUATIONAL IRONY-When a situation turns out differently than expected. • This type of irony is all about expectations. • There has to be a reversal of these expectations for the situation to be ironic.

  11. Is this situational irony?

  12. Answer… • Yes. It is situational irony because there was a reversal of expectations. The situation turned out differently than expected. • The reversal: The armor, which was intended for protection, is what ended up causing harm.

  13. Is this situational irony?

  14. Answer… • No. It is NOT. • Why isn’t it ironic? • Because it’s just an unfortunate scenario; there’s no reversal of expectations. Just because there is a drawer in a kitchen does not mean you will find any knives in it.
