Today we are going to try a new type of “learning,” a style of learning that requires you take charge of what you accomplish in one forty minute lesson. We are going to try “Discovery Learning.”
Discovery Learning allows you to be in control of important concepts and skills that you learn in class.
Your goal today is to define, explain, and utilize oxymorons and paradoxes in your writing. You may use any tool or website that you find helpful.
In your post, include the following:
- A definition of BOTH terms
- An Example and Non-Example of each
- Write a short piece in which you use 1 oxymoron and 1 paradox
- Use complete sentences

Oxymoron: Two words next to each other that are of two totally different meanings
Ex. One of my friends came into lunch happy to tell us that some girl she didnt like had been cheted on. We all looked at her and told her we had already known that and it was old news.
Old news is an oxymoron because news is always new, when it gets old its not news naymore. And it isnt news but people use news thats already known as old news.
Paradox : A sentence that contradicts its self.
Ex. I went to my friend for advice because my boyfriend had cheated on me. She told me i should leave him and I was stupid to stay with him. The funny thing was she knows her boyfriend cheat on her every time he goes out,

oxymoron - a figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory effect.
paradox - a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth.
ex. mean kindness
Oxymorons-when somthing is mess up and its additional.
Paradox-true statement that lead to a situation which seems to be logic.
Example:(Oxymorons)She is just a poor little rich girl.
(paradox)When you see a man being curve to a dog and you turn around and you start dragging the dog yourself.
