Worksheet Description

This worksheet invites students to engage creatively with the concept of dramatic irony by crafting their own scene that incorporates this literary device. Dramatic irony is described as a situation where the audience knows more than the characters within the narrative. The worksheet provides a structured format with three questions: what is happening in the scene, what does the reader know, and what do the characters know. These questions are designed to guide students in outlining a scenario where dramatic irony is present before writing the full scene on a separate sheet of paper.

The worksheet aims to teach students the practical application of dramatic irony in writing. By prompting them to create a scene that employs dramatic irony, students learn to manipulate the flow of information between the character and the audience to enhance the narrative. This exercise fosters creativity and deepens the students’ understanding of how knowledge and awareness can affect the dynamics of a story. Furthermore, it encourages students to think critically about plot construction and character development in storytelling.
