Relevance of assessments
The formative assessment enables the students to grasp the basic concepts of the topic while the summative test gives them a deeper understanding of the three aspects of irony as well as a chance to demonstrate what they have understood

Collection of feedback.
Pros: level and scope of understanding is assessable as students get a chance to present what they have learnt, and the method allows for learning from peers through group work and student to student criticism and correction.
Cons: students may not cover the three presentation areas; they are only required to cover two so the feedback may not be conclusive criticism from fellow students may not be sufficient.
Instructional strategies.
Strengths: encompasses the entire scope of the topic covering verbal situational and dramatic irony; encourage teamwork and group participation and peer learning through group work
Weaknesses: one on one interaction by the teacher with students is minimal; the tests do not exhaustively cover the entire scope of the topic for each student, and could promote laziness in some students who will rely on their group members to do all the work.
