Thursday - February 25 - Titanic part 2 & 3

Objective: By the end of class, students will analyze a secondary source of informational text in order to improve reading comprehensive skills.

DO NOW

Look on page 333 of hard textbook - bottom right hand column - why is the song they are singing considered DRAMATIC IRONY?

How does the crew react when they hear they are approaching icebergs? Why is their reaction considered SITUATIONAL IRONY? How might you expect them to behave?

Direct Instruction

Review of Three types of irony:
1. Dramatic Irony  - audience knows what character does not (builds suspense)
2. Situational Irony- opposite happens of what you expect
3. Verbal Irony - you say opposite of what you mean (sarcasm)
