Each Scenario

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students practice creating scenarios that could lead to dramatic irony. It presents three different situations where the audience has crucial information that the characters in the scenarios do not. Students are prompted to use this information to generate a continuation of each scenario that would result in dramatic irony. An illustration of a person reading a book, placed at the top, suggests that the task is related to storytelling or literature.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students how to craft situations in stories that utilize dramatic irony. It encourages them to think creatively about how knowing more than the characters can affect the audience’s experience of a story. By coming up with potential developments that would lead to dramatic irony, students learn to engage readers through the tension between what is expected and what will actually occur. This exercise is designed to enhance students’ writing skills, particularly in the use of irony to add depth and interest to their narratives.
