DISCUSSION
This illustration represents and tells our
lesson for today. It is about Literal and
Figurative Language.

Literal Language are the words mean what

they say or a straight forward and factual
statement
; in the dictionary it is a meaning of a word.
When someone says “I mean that literally.”
They mean exactly just the facts.
Figurative Language
are words used in an imaginative way to
express ideas that are not literally true.
it is far more interesting.
it is imaginative, and conveys not just the
facts, but an idea.
The types of figurative language are known
as figures of speech.

Simile – A figure of speech that uses the

words like, as, than, or resembles to
compare things that have little or nothing in
common.
Example:
Life is like a box of chocolates; you're never
sure what you're gonna get.
He is as busy as a bee.

Metaphor - a comparison between unlike

things in which some reasonable connection
is instantly revealed. A metaphor is a more
forceful version of a simile because like or
as is dropped.
Example:
Her long hair was a flowing golden river.
The children were flowers grown in concrete
gardens

Personification – Attributing human qualities

to nonhuman things or to an abstract idea.
Example:
My alarm clock yells at me to get out of bed
every morning.
At precisely 6:30 my alarm clock sprang to
life.

Hyperbole- A big word for "exaggeration"

Example:
He's running faster than the wind.
Next Friday is never going to arrive.
Now let’s practice.
There are literal sentences and your task is
to make it in figurative language.

For your next task, kindly check a piece of

paper under your table. Then identify if that
is a literal or figurative sentence. After that
look for your partner who has the
combination of that sentence and paste your
sentence in the front.
