"Isn't It Ironic?" FREEBIE--Fun, Creative Irony Activity
IRONY PURISTS, YOUR DAY HAS COME!
Alanis Morissette’s 1995 classic song, “Ironic,” has long been used as a teaching tool for irony. However, this has been much to the dismay of many English teachers and irony purists who point out (perhaps in the ultimate irony) that not all the examples in this song about irony are actually ironic.
In this activity, students listen to the song while reading the lyrics, then rate each ironic scenario depicted by its degree of irony—whether strong, mediocre o

Making Inferences with Fiction and Non-Fiction Passages : Fireflies
Making inferences is probably the most important reading skill teachers can teach and reteach. Teaching students to take what is stated in the text – either explicitly or implicitly – and marry that to their schema – ALL of their prior knowledge – and come up with a reasoned and reasonable inference allows students to understand texts at new depths and make comprehension of the text and extension of its ideas easier each time they practice the skill.
