Some Lessons From CPALMS

Mark Gonella was kind enough to share these lessons.  Both are from the CPALMS site and align with our new standards.  Check them out!



Exploring "Ironic" by Alanis Morisette: Teaching Situational Irony 
This lesson will introduce students to the concept of irony by examining the song "Ironic" by Alanis Morisette. Verbal, situational, and dramatic irony will be explored, but the focus of the lesson will be situational irony. This lesson can be used prior to teaching longer, more complex short stories that contain situational irony.

Using Story Pyramids to Comprehend, Compare, and Contrast
Through the creation of Story Pyramids, students demonstrate their comprehension of two literary texts by using evidence from the text to construct their pyramids. Students are challenged even further by using their Story Pyramid to generate a written piece comparing and contrasting the two literary works. A rubric and student samples are provided.
