Poetry...you gotta love it! We just had a taste of it today with our Shel Silverstein (are you coming in?) and Ogden Nash (poor Adam) poems, our exploration of how to eat a poem (get sloppy!), and our writing of four minute wonders (pretty darn good, Bryce Yoder!) and some couplets (awesome work, Savannah Day). We'll try our hand at odes and sonnets tomorrow. A bit more in store as well. What can I say? I love poetry!
As you read this, can you tell me the difference between verbal, situational, and dramatic irony? Could you identify some examples for each? I'll be asking you to do just that next week. Be ready. In case you were absent here's a synopsis:
verbal irony-saying or writing one thing but meaning the opposite
situational irony-a situation where the outcome is considerably different from what was expected
dramatic irony-when the audience or reader is aware of information that the character in the film, show,
play, book, etc. is not
Don't forget the rough draft of the NBT paper is due Tuesday. I'm available tomorrow before school and during lunch if you have any questions.
Here's Savannah's couplet; very clever.
Writing is fun
When you hire someone
It's Friday before a three day weekend! See you tomorrow.
