Learn the basics of irony in its different forms and practice writing your own ironic situation!

So while we'll examine Guy de Maupassant's "The Necklace" and Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet," we'll also talk about a gardener who kills all his plants, a ghost who is terrified of his own shadow, a dentist who can't stand teeth, a fire station that burns down, and...
I've been on Outschool for more than three years, with more than 4,000 learners taught! This has granted me unique capabilities for interacting with students in an online environment and for figuring out how to create a welcoming learning space for everyone.

I have BAs in journalism and French literature from UNC-Chapel Hill, but don't ask me to speak French these days! In the early 2000s, a homeschool co-op asked if I would teach a class on Shakespeare, and that set me on a journey into teaching. Now, I teach classes on everything from Shakespeare to poetry to creative writing to vocabulary.
