What does it meant to be ironic? Through a well-thought out series of examples and non-examples, this video seeks to put an end to misconceptions about this word's meaning. Entertaining and memorable, the video leads to a quiz. While some of the assessment questions are rote recall from the video, others work to deepen understanding by asking the viewer to make connections to irony in their personal life. The Dig Deeper section elaborates on the definition of irony through three articles that delve into its uses in everyday language.
