Day 5: Literary Terms Quiz and Irony Lesson Plan

Lesson Flow

1. Independent Reading & Reading Log (15 minutes)

  • Begin class by handing out the reading logs.

  • Students will read silently for 10–15 minutes and record one important thing from their book.

2. Literary Terms Quiz (10–15 minutes)

  • Administer the literary terms quiz using Google Forms (covering the first 15 terms from the glossary introduced earlier in the unit).

  • Allow students to complete the quiz individually.

  • This gives you quick, trackable data on which terms need reteaching.

4. Writing Definitions of Irony (10 minutes)

  • After the clip, have students write out the definitions for:

    • Verbal Irony

    • Situational Irony

    • Dramatic Irony

  • Discuss as a class, making sure they can apply examples from the video.

5. Complete and Submit Plot Diagrams (10 minutes)

  • Have students return to their plot diagrams from the previous lesson.

  • Give them a few minutes to finish, then collect them for assessment.

Teacher Notes

  • Ensure the Google Forms quiz is ready to share with students at the start of the quiz segment.

  • If time permits, invite a few students to share their favorite ironic moment from the video.

  • Plot diagrams can serve as a formative assessment for story structure understanding.
