It was made using Google Slides, so that will be the best place to edit the lesson plans.

Doodle Notes/End of Chapter & Discussion Activities

Each chapter comes with doodle notes and an End of Chapter/Discussion Activity. Doodle notes are notes students take that involve more drawing than writing.

I also made a Google Slides File also that is easier to edit on Google Slides, however you cannot edit as much. ***There is a slide, that you will need to edit.

This comprehensive lesson plan on Types of Irony is designed to help students grasp the concept of irony and its three main types: situational irony, verbal irony, and dramatic irony. Aligned with education standards for literacy and language arts, this lesson emphasizes understanding figurative language, precise word choice, and nuanced meanings.

Key Features of the Lesson Plan:
