"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

Teach Characterization with Video Clips (Disney, Pixar, etc.)
By middle school, students should begin to develop skills in analyzing author craft. One of the easiest ways to introduce kids to the "craft moves" an author makes is through teaching characterization. The reality is that kids already understand this literary term on some level because they unconsciously pick up on all of the clues that an author or a text (be it book, movie, music video, or tv show) provides the audience. We inherently form judgements about characters as we engage with a text.T
