Welcome back! We will ease into our day with a little extended reading time today. Please have your bookmarks out for me to check. Don't forget to set your goal for this week.
Next we'll take some time discussing the 3 major types of irony in literature: verbal, situational, and dramatic. See the examples below and match them to their appropriate label. We will add these to our terms/definitions list for this unit.
Finally, before we leave, we'll start reading "The Bear." We will need a few volunteers to help us. :)

- In Romeo and Juliet, the audience knows that Juliet is NOT actually dead when Balthasar tells Romeo she is.
- When Montressor tells Fortunato (his enemy) that he cannot risk Fortunato's health by moving further into the catacombs; however, he actually intends to kill the man before they leave.
- In Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic," she describes a situation in which a woman meets the man of her dreams, and then meets his beautiful wife.
Finally, before we leave, we'll start reading "The Bear." We will need a few volunteers to help us. :)
