The Irony of it All...

Most groups did a fantastic job on their presentations today. Are there future teachers among you?

Remember when thinking about irony, there are three types:
  • Situational
  • Verbal
  • Dramatic

Situational Irony is a part of the plot. It is when what we expect to happen and what actually happens.

Verbal Irony is when the authro says one thing, but means something else. Often confused with sarcasm, verbal irony is more subtle.

Dramatic Irony occurs when the audience or reader knows something that a character does not.

Like the ironic twists? Go here for a list of stories you will enjoy.
