This lesson introduces students to the three types of irony and then builds on that knowledge over the course of multiple sessions. Students watch YouTube videos to categorize information on a graphic organizer, apply the knowledge from those videos to outside examples of irony, read short stories which employ the three types of irony, and ultimately demonstrate their ability to apply irony to our modern world. Over the course of these five days, students are able to move from identification to manipulation of a skill through the scaffolding provided from the teacher and other resources.

From Theory to Practice

Irony surrounds upper grade students in their daily lives, making an understanding of what it is and how it works essential. In his article regarding incorporating pop culture in the classroom, Jerome Evans writes "popular culture has an important place in the English classroom—as an object worthy of study and as a means for students to access and study literature successfully." Through including popular culture such as YouTube videos, song lyrics, and an accessible performance task, students are able to learn the skill of understanding the purpose behind irony in a way that engages their everyday interests. Through helping students see the connection between irony and their world, they are able to see not only the classroom-related value that this skill entails but also the real-world application of the skill.

• 3. Students apply a wide range of strategies to comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and appreciate texts. They draw on their prior experience, their interactions with other readers and writers, their knowledge of word meaning and of other texts, their word identification strategies, and their understanding of textual features (e.g., sound-letter correspondence, sentence structure, context, graphics).
• 4. Students adjust their use of spoken, written, and visual language (e.g., conventions, style, vocabulary) to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences and for different purposes.
• 6. Students apply knowledge of language structure, language conventions (e.g., spelling and punctuation), media techniques, figurative language, and genre to create, critique, and discuss print and nonprint texts.
• 11. Students participate as knowledgeable, reflective, creative, and critical members of a variety of literacy communities.

Preparation

• Preassessment: Use a KWL chart , a text graffiti activity, or a basic quiz to garner your students’ understanding of irony. The quiz could be as simple as asking students to define each type of irony, identify examples of each type of irony, and explain any prior experience with using or analyzing irony.
• Be sure to make enough copies of the Understanding Irony worksheet prior to the first class session.
• Irony examples: Choose the lines provided from Alanis Morisette’s song, “ Ironic ,” or examples of irony from texts that the students have read. Put one example of any of the three types of irony on index cards (one index card per student).
• Provide computers for students to access the Fractured Fairy Tales interactive on ReadWriteThink.org as well as the Newsela website.

Student Objectives

Students will

• identify and define the three types of irony (verbal, situational, and dramatic).
• cite evidence to explain the three types of irony and provide examples of each type.
• make connections between irony in literature and irony in the modern world.
• cite and explain examples of the three types of irony to demonstrate a command of the skill.

Session One: What is Irony?

• As a preassessment, brainstorm with students to determine a baseline of understanding of the three types of irony.
• Introduce the Situational Irony , Verbal Irony , and Dramatic Irony videos, and the Understanding Irony handout. As students view the three videos, have them use the handout to take notes on each of the three types of irony. In between each video, have students Think-Pair-Share or Turn & Talk to discuss the examples from the video, answer any questions that students may have, or compare what students thought they knew about irony with what they learn from the videos.
• After watching the videos, ask students to identify on a sticky note one question that they have about any of the three types of irony. If they do not have a question, have them write down one new thing they learned about irony through the videos.
• While you review the students’ questions, give each student one index card. Have them work independently to decide which type of irony is evidenced on the index card they have been provided, and then write an explanation as to why they know it is that type of irony. If you are using the Alanis Morissette lyrics Irony Examples handout, make students aware that not all index cards are any type of irony; her song “Ironic” has examples of situations that are ironic, while others that are not at all.
• Have students find a partner and switch index cards. Do they agree or disagree with their partner’s idea? Have them write down whether or not they agree on the back of the index card. Repeat this step two-three times so that students can hear from a number of their peers before making a final decision.
• Exit Ticket: Have students submit their index cards. Ask them to circle the answer they believe is correct regarding the type of irony on the card and, if it is different from their original opinion, explain why they believe that response is correct.

Session Two: What Irony Looks Like in Literature

• At the start of class, differentiate students based on the formative assessments conducted in the first session. While you work with the group who is struggling with irony, have other students work in partners or small groups to brainstorm examples of each of the three types of irony.
• As a whole class, discuss the work that the small groups have done. This will help the struggling students to see real-world examples of each type of irony, and coupled with the small group instruction, this should empower them to feel confident with the assignment they will begin completing.
• As a class, read aloud a short story that employs the three types of irony (such as “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe, “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant, “The Gift of the Magi” by O. Henry, or “Once Upon A Time” by Nadine Gordimer). While reading aloud, give students a “cue word” that they use whenever they see an example of irony in the story (For example, have students yell out “Bingo!” or hit a buzzer when they believe they see the author using irony).
• At the conclusion of class, check for understanding by having students select one type of irony and a piece of evidence to show that type of irony in the short story. Use this information to assess which students who truly are grasping this concept and those who may need additional assistance.

Session Three: How to Apply Irony in Literature

• At the start of Session Three, have students Think, Pair, Share about the role of irony in the story you read in Session Two. Through this discussion, students should be able to analyze author’s purpose and begin seeing why authors make use of irony throughout their pieces.
• The Fractured Fairy Tale: Introduce students to the story of “The Three Little Pigs: The Wolf’s Perspective.” Explain how this fractured fairy tale shows dramatic irony in that we, as readers, are told the wolf’s intentions, whereas in the original, we are not.
• Have students use the remainder of class to create a fractured fairy tale of their own using their choice of the three types of irony. Using the Fractured Fairy Tales interactive, be sure that students see how changing setting or characterization can also create irony for readers.
• Prior to submitting the fractured fairy tale, students should write a brief, one-paragraph analysis explaining how the irony they incorporated into the fractured fairy tale changed the purpose behind the task or changed the reader’s perspective of the story.
• Extend class time devoted to completion of the project into another session if necessary.

Session Four: Modern Day Connections

• Introduce the modern-day connection task by asking students to write a journal entry explaining where they see irony in the world around them. Have them share their responses with partners or small groups to transition into the modern-day connection task.
• Distribute and explain the Modern-Day Ironic Insights Task . Students should be researching news events on Newsela to determine real-world examples of the three types of irony. This can be done in partners or small groups.
• Have an Ironic Insights Day where students share one of their news articles that they believe employs irony. Through discussing these ironies in our world, students be able to assess author’s purpose as well as media intentions.
• Hold a Fairy Tale Friday. Students can read the new versions of their fractured fairy tales and discuss (in partners, small groups, or as a class) how their classmates’ use of irony altered the story’s meaning and/or purpose.

Student Assessment / Reflections

• Sticky note questions: The questions asked can be used to clear up any misconceptions or misunderstandings that students may have about any of the three types of irony.
• Index card examples: Use the index cards to help students to track their own progress toward the lesson objectives, while also shaping instruction for Session Two.
• Fractured fairy tale creation: The changes made to fairy tales and the analysis paragraphs provided will both provide insight on students’ understanding of the purpose of using irony. Based on these projects, determine if there is a specific type of irony with which students are struggling, if there are some students who may be falling behind, or if there are any gaps in information that need to be filled.
• Modern-Day Ironic Insights Task : Here, ensure that students are moving beyond basic identification of the types of irony and are able to evaluate their role in our everyday lives.

Sat / act prep online guides and tips, understanding the 3 types of irony.

General Education

Irony is one of the great forces of language and literature. Irony calls on us to use our wit and instinctual understanding of right and wrong, and often requires that we see humor where there is none. Some say that irony is as old as literature itself, and they may be right— in the human condition, we have always sought to find meaning in paradoxes. Since irony is so ubiquitous, it’s important to understand the different types of irony, and how or when they’re used. You'll be able to identify the different types, and call out the right and wrong ways to use them.

What Is Irony?

In short, irony is a literary or rhetorical device that states or shows the opposite of what is actually true for humorous or emphatic effect. Irony states to contrary to what is meant, but in a way that still makes the actual meaning understood.

Many people use sarcasm in their everyday interactions, which is one form of verbal irony. For example, when discussing an upcoming dentist appointment, you might say in an overly excited voice, “I can’t wait!” This is one type of irony (we’ll get to the types soon!) and shows that irony is deeply ingrained into the way we communicate.

If you’re not a naturally ironic person, you may be wondering why writers use irony in novels. Wouldn’t it just make more sense to say what they mean? While you’re not wrong, using all types of irony can help create suspense, invoke particular emotions, or inform our opinion of a character and their motivations . When we discuss the types of irony, we’ll go more in depth as to how and why a writer might use irony, and what they hope to achieve.

The 3 Types of Irony

Situational irony.

Situational irony is when the outcome of a situation is different than our expectations. Situational irony can be used to create drama, to drive home to realities of a tragedy, or to create humor. You'll find situational irony often in books and plays, as well as movies and TV. This type of irony helps us and the character make sense of their reality, and weaves together humor and tragedy.

Here are some examples of situational irony

General: A friend posts on social media about how social media is killing society and we all need to interact in person

Humor: A thief on the run gets into a getaway car but it's out of gas

Tragic: In Guy de Maupassant's short story The Necklace , Mathilda borrows a necklace from a wealthy friend and loses it. She and her husband go into crippling debt and wind up in poverty to replace the necklace, only to find out years later that the original necklace was a fake to begin with.

Dramatic Irony

Dramatic irony is a device employed by storytellers wherein the audience is aware of what’s going on, but the characters are not . Dramatic irony includes three phases: Installation , when the audience is informed of something the character does not know. Exploitation , using the information to develop curiosity and an emotional response from the audience. Resolution , what happens after the character finds out the information.

Romeo and Juliet's death scene is a great example of dramatic irony. We the audience/reader know that Juliet is drugged to fake her own death, but Romeo does not. So, we watch Romeo commit suicide, knowing that Juliet is alive, and that he too would know the truth if he'd waited. In this example, the installation is earlier in the play, when we learn of Juliet's plan, aware that Romeo does not know. Exploitation is when we watch their death scenes unfold. And the resolution is the end of the play, when the families find out what happened and finally end their feud. 

Another well-known example is the story of Oedipus Rex. Dramatic irony was first invented for us in Greek dramas. So while most of us modern readers know the story mainly through the play, ancient Greek play-goers would have been well-informed on the story of Oedipus before going into the play. The Greek audience was able to watch the story unfold with this knowledge already in mind, even though the main character, Oedipus, is unaware. This creates dramatic tension throughout the story and adds a new emotional layer to this classic myth.

Verbal Irony

As we discussed, verbal irony is an important tool in speech. Verbal irony is also an important tool in writing. Verbal irony occurs when a person of character says one thing but means another .

I mentioned above that sarcasm is one form of verbal irony. But remember, the definitions of sarcasm and verbal irony are not interchangeable, and sarcasm is only one form of verbal irony. Sarcasm is generally a little harsher than overall verbal irony, and verbal irony can also include double entendre, over- or under-exaggeration, and rhetorical questions .

Writers may use verbal irony to prove a point, or to help us better understand a situation or character. If a character uses verbal irony, that irony may be in reference to the plot, but also may be in reference to the character's own emotions . Verbal irony, can give us insight into a character’s true state, and challenge us to look deeper into that character’s motivations.

Verbal irony can also be used in a more general sense to bring humor to the novel, play, movie, etc. Verbal irony also helps us develop analytical skills, since it requires us as readers to pay attention to the nuances of dialogue and language .

Satire is one example of verbal irony that carries throughout an entire text.

There are actually quite a few instances of verbal irony in the Harry Potter series. In The Order of the Phoenix , Aunt Petunia asks Harry why he keeps watching the news. He replies, “Well, it changes every day, you see.” Though Harry is offering a truthful response on the surface, as readers we can tell that his answer is contemptuous, and his meaning (to point out how silly Aunt Petunia’s inquiry is) contradicts with the actual words he speaks. If read in the right tone, this conversation definitely will at least get a giggle.

As we discussed, over exaggeration is one form of verbal irony we also use commonly. If someone laughs at a joke and says “I laughed so hard I almost exploded!” This is over exaggeration and one form of verbal irony, since clearly, the person didn’t almost explode from laughter, and the statement contradicts with reality.

How to Tell the Different Types of Irony Apart

Remember, writers use irony to make a point about the distinction between appearance and reality. Usually, use of irony is also meant to drive home a point about the theme or symbolism. To gain a full understanding of the text and the purpose of using irony, you have to know the type of irony being used.

Identifying Situational Irony

Situational irony can be a little harder to identify. Chances are, you've read or witnessed situational irony and had a reaction without thinking to yourself, "hey, this is situational irony." Situational irony can be funny, sad, or everything in between. Here are some important questions to ask yourself:

Does the outcome of the situation differ from your expectations?

Are both you and characters aware that the outcome is different than the expectations?

Does the difference in expectations versus reality elicit a funny, tragic, or otherwise emotional response?

The famous car sing-along song, Ironic by Alanis Morissette, is filled with situational irony; we know it's situational because each lyric explains an event, and an outcome that differs from our expectations. It is not verbal because no one is speaking, and not dramatic because the audience i.e. the listener, knows the same amount of information as the "characters" in the song. The lyric "He won the lottery and died the next day," for example clearly is a case of situational irony.

Identifying Dramatic Irony

The most important element of dramatic irony is that the audience knows something that the characters do not. Because we're usually aware as an audience what the characters do or do not know, dramatic irony should be relatively easy to identify.

When identifying dramatic irony, we have to ask ourselves: does it follow the trajectory of dramatic irony: Installation, exploitation, and resolution? Does the gap in knowledge between the audience and the characters increase or create tension? If the answer is yes, you're probably looking at dramatic irony.

Identifying Verbal Irony

One key part of verbal irony is that it is spoken out loud by a character. Since we use verbal irony so often in our speech, this type of irony may be immediately clear to you. However, nuances of speech are much harder to get across on paper, so you can ask yourself a few questions to help figure out the context, and confirm whether or not verbal irony is being used.

Read the scene carefully. Remember that verbal irony can have many tones! It can be playful, contemptuous, snarky, etc. So if you think characters are using verbal irony, you can ask yourself the following:

What else is going on in the scene? Is there a reason a character would be utilizing verbal irony? Do they have a point to prove?

What is the relationship between the character speaking and the character(s) being spoken to? Would the speaking character need to use verbal irony to get a point across?

Now that you've mastered irony in all its forms, take care not to overuse it. Ironically, irony can often be overused and overwrought. But definitely do use these tips to identify all three types of irony to better understand your test questions or reading materials. Authors employ all types of irony in their work, and it's an important part of finding meaning in books as well as in everyday life.

Types of Irony Situational Irony (Irony)-when the opposite of what you expect to occur happens; an unexpected twist Dramatic Irony- when the audience knows something that the characters do not Verbal Irony- when you say one thing but mean the opposite; sarcasm

The Sniper • Setting: Dublin, Ireland; during the Ireland Industrial Civil War; one night in June • Republicans vs. Free Staters Imagery: when the author paints a picture in the readers mind; descriptions that appeals to the five senses to create a vivid image in your mind

The Sniper • The Republican Sniper’s plan: place his cap on top of his rifle in order to seem as though the rifle is a person. • The free- stater sees the silhouette of the “sniper” (really the cap on the rifle) and takes a shot. • Thinking he succeeded, the free-stater makes himself visible. • The Republican sniper takes his shot and defeats the free-stater.

The Sniper End result: the two snipers are brothers How does Irony play a role in the story? How does the republican sniper change during this one night mission?

More Literary Terms • Point of view: 3rd person point of view- however, it is limited because we only see the story from the Republican’s side. • Simile- comparing two unlike things using like or as Ex: City machine guns and rifles broke the silence of the night spasmodically, like dogs barking on lone farms. • Metaphor- comparing two unlike things Ex: His bullets would never pierce the steel that covered the gray monster.
