This resource focuses on the language technique irony. The worksheet begins with an information box which explains the three main types of irony, gives an example of each and explains irony’s effect. This is followed by a range of activities which explore the use of each type of irony. Activities include identifying different types of irony in examples, finding verbal irony in everyday situations and completing a description to create situational irony.

The PowerPoint is designed to accompany the worksheet and includes sample answers for one of the worksheet tasks, extension definitions and examples of satire and sarcasm as they relate to irony, and images which depict examples of situational irony.

This resource is suitable for a high school audience. The worksheet is included in both Word and pdf formats to ensure no loss of detail.
