 Recapitulation
Last meeting, we discussed about the Adverb and
What was the topic we have tackled last meeting? its different types.
Anyone? Yes, Patrick?

Oh, yes! Very good!

Who can give me at least two types of adverbs?

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

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

That’s correct!
An adverb of place tells us where something
How about adverb of place? happens. It usually placed after the main verb or
Yes, Mica? after the clause that they modify.

Yes, very well said, Mica!

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

 Motivation

(a short recall)

Let’s do a short recall.

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

Very good, Grace!

I know you are already familiar with figures of
speech and its kinds. So, I have here a scrambled
letters for each definition. You have to arrange
these letters in order to create a word, of what kind
of figure of speech is being defined.
(students perform the activity)
Anyone from the class who can perform the activity?

Now, let us check your answer. (read the activities

(students giving a clap)
Great! Let’s give them five claps.

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

Yes, you’re absolutely right! Our topic for today is all

about figures of speech. But, the type of figures of
speech we have to tackle for today is all about
irony. Specifically, we will tackle verbal and
situational irony.

But, before we will start the discussion, let us read
first our objectives.
(everyone reads the 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
Nice idea, Jathan! different from what they really mean.

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. The
result could be either serious or comic. This type of
Irony is used to add 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?

Anyone from the class? Yes, Rose? An example is “a fire station burning down.”

Very good, Rose!

So, everything is clear?

Yes, Ma’am!
 Application

(the teacher will let the students work on this

exercise) (the students will answer the exercise)

Class, let’s have an activity. This will be an oral

activity. Okay, Ma’am!

Directions: Identify the type of irony in the following

statements.

people that you are

fear of long words must say such a long word. It
seems as if the people who invented the word did
it on purpose.
2. Type of irony: situational

that works to keep things clean would have a
rodent infestation.

3. Mother: “I see you ironed your shirt.”
Boy: “But I just dug it out of the bottom of the
hamper.”
3. Type of irony: verbal
