  1. Warm Up In your own words, list and define the following literary terms to the best of your ability: Plot Foreshadowing Conflict Irony

  2. Learning Goal I will be able to define irony and identify examples of this literary element bytaking notes, synthesizing the notes into my own words, and completing a practice activity.

  3. Note Taking Format Short Story Unit

  4. Review: Plot Climax Falling Action Rising Action Antecedent Action Inciting Incident Resolution (Denouement) Exposition

  5. Literary Term: Irony Irony is a contradiction between appearance and reality—it is the difference between what is expected and what actually happens.

  6. Literary Term: Situational Irony • Situational Ironyis when something happens in the story that contradicts the expectations of a character or the reader. • Example: A runner who trains hard would be expected to do well in a race. It would be ironic if she trained so hard that she overslept and missed the race.

  7. Translate the notes you just took on IRONY into your own words. (2 Minutes)

  8. Situational Irony Continued… • A surpriseendingoften presents situational irony. The turn of events may be unexpected, but writers using irony build clues into the story that make the ending logical. • Example:In “The Necklace,” after working herself destitute for ten years to repay the necklace she lost, in the end she finds out that it was a fake.

  9. Situational Irony Continued… • Ironies and surprise endings usually help communicate the story’s theme, or message about life. As you read, watch for surprises and think about what each may mean. • Example:The surprise ending in “The Necklace” communicates the insignificance of material things as a theme.

  10. Translate the notes you just took into your own words. (2 Minutes)

  11. Review: Conflict • The primary struggle between opposing forces that drives the plot • Internal Conflict: Man vs. Self • External Conflict: • Man vs. Man • Man vs. Nature • Man vs. Society • Man vs. Technology

  12. Practice Activity: “Isn’t It Ironic?” • Each student will be provided a lyric sheet. • Refer to your notes definingironyand try to fill in the blanks with what would create an ironic situation. • You may work with a table partner, or within your quadrant. • At the end of the activity. We will hear the song to see how close you came to the correct answers. • Then you will work with your partner to create your own ironic situations that could be added to the song.

  13. Exit Reflection In your own words, define irony and explain how an author uses this literary device to communicate the theme of the story.
