Materials and Prep  Handout: Capitalization Expectations (1 per student)  Handout: Quotation Marks (1 per student)  Teacher Resource: English 1 Unit 01 Reading Appetizer (1)  The focus of Conventions Practice for this Instructional Routine is a review of capitalization and the use of quotation marks. The Handout: Capitalization Expectations is intended as a reference for students. Since they will be using dialogue in their writing, more time should be spent reviewing correct use of punctuation with quotation marks using Handout: Quotation Marks.  Refer to: Teacher Resource: English 1 Unit 01 Reading Appetizer. Prepare accordingly.  Background Information This Instructional Routine partially assesses Performance Indicator: “Use the writing process and conventions of language to write an engaging story using a range of literary strategies and devices to enhance the plot.”

Students edit drafts for conventions of grammar, mechanics and spelling.  Handout: Capitalization Expectations Put this in the Edit and Grammar section of the Learner’s Notebook.  Handout: Quotation Marks. Quotation marks are not only used in dialogue, but also indicate a writer’s use of sarcasm or irony. Can you think of some others? Objective:

Review from last week:  Irony  Sarcasm

Review: Irony and Sarcasm  Irony is a figure of speech in which there is a contradiction of expectation between what is said what is really meant. It is characterized by an incongruity, a contrast, between reality and appearance. where the person says something which is exactly opposite to what he/she really wanted to communicate. Apart from this, it can also be dramatic where one of the characters is unaware of what is happening around, whereas the spectators know exactly what's going on; this concept is often related to plays. Irony can be situational as well, if the actual result appears to be just opposite to what is really expected. Irony can best be defined as that middle ground between what is said and what is meant, or others' understanding of what was said and what was meant. It can sometimes be a bit confusing, yet at the same time it can also be amusing. The following are examples of ironic statements: -The police station was robbed. -A pilot is afraid of heights. -A marriage counselor gets a divorce.  - See more at:
