Standard 01-17-2013


Some great work on the Found poems today.  You came with some well-prepared lines and were able to easily slip into forming the poems.  Make sure you complete the poems tonight--remember, they have to make sense.  We'll look at what you produced and then start doing the final step--the creative display of the words you used.  

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

Ah, we made it to another Friday.  Three day weekend coming up too.  See you tomorrow.
