This is a good ten-minute overview of the types of irony, complete with examples and verbal explanation by the instructor. This mini-lesson would be great for flipped learning, allowing students to progress through a lesson at their own pace, or for allowing absent students to catch up on missed notes. This lesson gives students the tools to recognize irony for themselves, and follow-up activities would be needed for individual student practice.
Partial alignment of standards RL.11-12.4, RL.11-12.6.
Has clear learning objectives that are achievable through completion of this resource.
No assessment strategies have been indicated in the resource, so users should plan to add some type of assessment.
The strengths of this resource are its focus on accurate ELA content and the clarity of the audio and visual elements provided. Great work!
For future development of this resource, teachers could add follow-up activities to assess student learning and engage students in critical thinking.
