--independently or in pairs (assigned by me), purposefully read the notes page (How did we do?!), write an example for each type of irony (from the video clips, other movies or television shows you have seen, works you have read in school in the past, and/or real life), and jot down in list form authorial purpose(s)/intended effect(s) (e.g., humor)
--whole-class share-out--add to official notes page

--Closure
Directions:
Directions:
- For each of the following examples, if you think that the example is situational irony, hold up ONE finger. If you think that the example is verbal irony, hold up TWO fingers. If an example best fits dramatic irony, hold up THREE fingers. Finally, if an example is in no way ironic at all, hold up a FIST.
- Put your head down on your desk, listen to each example, and throw your hand up in the air!
1. I failed the test because I did not study.
2. Dave’s blood pressure medication gave him a heart attack.
3. Juliet took a sleeping potion, but Romeo, who has no idea, thinks that she is dead and hastily takes his own life.
4. The box of airdropped humanitarian aid landed on the refugee and crushed him to death.
5. I missed the job interview because I overslept.
6. “Thank you for this ticket, Officer. You just made my day.”
