D. Explain
1. Teaching Part
The teacher will explain and give examples on Irony and its three types.
What is Irony?
Irony is a figure of speech which is a contradiction or inconsistency between what is
expected and what actually occurs.
 Verbal Irony
Verbal irony is the use of words to mean something different from what a person
actually says.
Ex:
1. “Thanks for the ticket officer you just made my day!”

2. “I can’t wait to read the seven hundred pages’ report.”
3. “Looking at her son's messy room, Mom says, "Wow, you could win an award for
cleanliness!"
4. A student who goes to the restroom every day during class asks the teacher if he
can go. Her response is "Sure, it's not like we do anything important in this
class."
5. On the way to school, the school bus gets a flat tire and the bus driver says,
"Excellent! This day couldn't start off any better!"
 Dramatic Irony
This type of irony is popular in works of art such as movies, books, poems and plays.
It occurs when the audience is aware of something that the characters in the story are
not aware of.
Ex:
1. Girl in a horror film hides in a closet where the killer just went (the audience
knows the killer is there, but she does not).
2. In Romeo and Juliet, the audience knows that Juliet is only asleep-not dead-but
Romeo does not, and he kills himself.
3. In Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, we know that the old woman bringing the
apple is the wicked queen who wants to kill Snow White, but she does not. She
purchases the apple, takes a bite, and falls.
4. Another Disney movie, Beauty and the Beast, has examples of dramatic irony. The
audience knows from the beginning of the movie that the beast is a prince, but
Belle does not.

5. In Toy Story, human characters are not aware that the toys speak and move while
the audience is aware
 Situational Irony
It involves a discrepancy between what is expected to happen and what actually
happens.
Situational irony occurs when the exact opposite of what is meant to happen, happens.
Ex:
1. Ralph wakes up late and thinks he is going to be late to school. After rushing
around to get dressed, he realizes it is Saturday.
2. The fire station burns down while the firemen are out on a call.
3. Sara is trying to avoid a water gun fight that her brothers are having and she falls
into a wet patch.
4. The thieves robbed the police station.
5. A marriage counselor filed for divorce

hopefully, to save her life. On the way to the hospital, the ambulance is hit by a truck,
and everyone on board the ambulance is killed. (Situational)
2. You work all afternoon cooking a fancy dinner for your mother. When she takes her

5. Romeo arrives at the Capulet family tomb to find his love, Juliet supposedly dead.
However, we the audience know that Juliet is not dead; she merely took a potion to
make it look like she died for her motives. When the audience of a story knows more
than the characters involved, what type of irony is employed? (Dramatic)
6. "He waited his whole darn life to take that flight, and as the plane crashed down he
said, "Now isn't this nice?" - from the song "Ironic" by Alannis Morisette (Verbal)
7. In the children's story "Little Red Riding Hood" we know that the wolf has eaten the
