Anyone? Yes, Patrick? its different types.

Oh, yes, very good!

Who can give me at least two types of adverbs?

Yes, Christine? Adverb of time and adverb of place, Ma’am.

Very good!

So, what is adverb of time? An adverb of time is just what you might expect it
Okay, John? to be – a word that describes when, for how long,
or how often a certain action happened.

That’s correct!

How about adverb of place? An adverb of place tells us where something

Yes, Mica? happens. It usually placed after the main verb or
after the clause that they modify.

Yes, very well said, Mica!

Alright! So, I think all is clear about the adverb and Yes, Ma’am!
its types. Is it now clear?

 Motivation

(a short recall)

Let’s do a short recall.

What are figures of speech? Any idea? A figure of speech is a rhetorical device that
Yes, Grace? achieves a special effect by using words in a
distinctive way.

Very good, Grace!

How about the kinds of figures of speech that are Hyperbole- uses exaggeration for emphasis or
familiar to you? Can you give examples? Anyone effect.
from the class? Yes, Gino? Example: I've told you to stop a thousand times.

How about you, Claire? Metaphor- makes a comparison between two

unlike things or ideas.
Example: Heart of stone

Great! Let’s give five claps to Gino and Claire. (students giving a clap)

 Discussion

Based on what you have recalled and heard earlier, Our topic is all about figures of speech.
what do you think is our topic? Kelly?

Yes, you’re absolutely right! Our topic for today is all (students’ answer may vary)
about figures of speech. But, specifically, what type
of figures of speech we have to tackle?

Yes, Sheena? It’s irony, Ma’am!

Correct, Sheena! Specifically, we will tackle verbal
and situational irony.

But, before we will start the discussion, let us read (everyone reads the objectives)
first our objectives. Specifically, the learners are expected to:
  recall the previous knowledge of some
figures of speech;
 formulate own example of verbal and
situational irony;
 identify the irony type depicted in the
pictures given;
 describe how irony contributes to text or
story

Very good! Now, who can give me an idea about Irony is the use of words to express something
what irony is all about? Yes, Nathan? Do you have other than and especially the opposite of the
an idea? literal meaning.

Okay, that’s right Nathan!

(the teacher will facilitate in the discussion of the (the students will critically analyze and participate
following concept) in the discussion of the meaning and examples of
verbal and situational irony)

Irony is a figure of speech and one of the most

widely- known literary devices, which is used to
express a strong emotion or raise a point.

As defined, Irony is the use of words to convey a

meaning that is opposite of what is actually said.
 For example, a driver whose license was
confiscated by a traffic officer may say
“Thank you Officer, now that you have my
license I can’t drive”
In this situation, the driver was mad and irritated at
what happened. But instead of directly expressing
his anger, the driver used Irony i.e. thanking the
officer for getting his license.

Now, let’s proceed to the two types of irony, the

verbal and situational irony.

So, first is verbal irony. Any idea? Yes, Jathan? Verbal irony is a figure of speech in which the
literal meaning of what someone is saying is
different from what they really mean.

Nice idea, Jathan!

Verbal irony is the use of words to present a

meaning that is different from what the speaker
says. Almost all the time, the person intentionally
and knowingly uses verbal irony to be understood
as meaning something different to what his or her
words’ literal meaning.
Examples:
 After looking at a student’s poor test score,
the teacher says, “You will surely finish the
year with highest honors”.
 A man tastes his wife’s delicious home-
cooked meal and exclaims, “I shall never eat
this food ever again”.
So, who can give other examples? Yes, Janna? For example, someone saying “Just what I
needed”, after spilling coffee on their shirt on the
way to an important meeting.

Very good, Janna!

So, second is situational irony. Any idea? Yes, Earl? Situational irony is the irony of something
happening that is very different to what was
expected.

Yes, nice idea, Earl!

Situational irony happens when what is expected

and intended to happen doesn’t take place. Instead,
the exact opposite occurs. The result could be either
serious or comic. This type of Irony is used adds
more meaning to a situation making it more
interesting and thought- provoking.
Examples:
 Dr. Johnson smokes a pack of cigarettes a
day.
 Our boss, the owner of a big construction
firm, cannot fix his house’s broken ceiling.

Who can give other examples of situational irony? An example is “a fire station burning down.”
Anyone from the class? Yes, Rose?

Very good, Rose!

So, everything is clear? Yes, Ma’am!

 Generalization

(the teacher will guide the students to come to an (the students will ponder on this idea)
understanding of this idea)

The most common purpose of irony is to create

humor and/or point out the absurdity of life. Life has
a way of contradicting our expectations, often in
painful ways. Irony generally makes us laugh, even
when the circumstances are tragic. The contrast
between people’s expectations and the reality of the
situations is not only funny, but also meaningful
because it calls our attention to how wrong human
beings can be. Irony is best when it points us
towards deeper meanings of a situation.

So, our discussion ends here. See you next meeting!

Good bye, class! Thank you and good bye, Ma’am Caguillo!
