Today I introduced irony in all its creative glory. Here's a link to the slide show you saw in class. Can you remember what the three types of irony are? Can you offer original examples of each one? Can you define them all? If not, check out your notes or revisit the slide show.
We'll be talking about irony a lot this year. You'll want to remember it.
We will also be talking about "Harrison Bergeron" throughout the year. We started diving into it today, but tomorrow's class will be a deeper dig into the Vonnegut classic. A few things to think about:
What is Harrison's goal?
Does he succeed?
What are Vonnegut's beliefs based on the story?
What is satire and what is Vonnegut trying to satire here?
What is ironic about the story?
We will look at these questions, some of yours and a few others tomorrow. Be ready to discuss.
Possible QBTs tomorrow. Have the typed outline ready to be turned in the day you present. Monday at the latest.
Until next time...
