--Please pick up a copy of the sheet titled "Irony Check Charts" from the front table. Following attendance, I will explain how these charts work/the rationale behind these charts and how we will use them today as review prior to the irony assessment. Please bear in mind the irony-related objectives that today's assessment "checks on":
You should...
- be able to define both irony in general and the three main types of irony
- be able to recognize each of the types of irony in action.
