Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

 B. Motivation
Class, I have two pictures here.
What do you think is more Expected Answer
attractive? The more attractive picture is thefirst
picture.

Why? Because there are more colors than the

second picture.
Thank you! Yes! It is more attractive
or engaging if there are colors to
the picture. So same in the stories
or selections that we read if there is
figures of speech. If the reader can
create mental image because of
the words they read on a
selection, comprehension is more
likely to occur. Thus, reading will be
not be boring and too demanding.

C. Presentation of the Lesson

 Day 1
Figurative language creates figures
(pictures) in the mind of the reader or
listener. These pictures help convey the
meaning faster and more vividly than
words alone. We use figures of speech in
"figurative language" to add color and
interest, and to awaken the imagination.

 Alliteration - The repetition of an

initial consonant sound.
Example: She sells seashells by the
seashore.

 Allusion - An indirect reference to

something.
Example: What are you looking at?

 Hyperbole - An extravagant
statement; the use of exaggerated
terms for the purpose of emphasis
or heightened effect.
Example: I have a ton of things to
do when I get home.

 Irony- The use of words to convey

the opposite of their literal meaning.
Also, a statement or situation where
the meaning is contradicted by the
appearance or presentation of the
idea.
Example: "Oh, I love spending big
bucks," said my dad, a notorious
penny pincher.

 Metaphor - An implied comparison

between two dissimilar things that
have something in common.
Example: "All the world's a stage."
The entire

 Metonymy - A figure of speech in a

word or phrase is substituted for
another with which it's closely
associated; also, the rhetorical
strategy of describing something
indirectly by referring to things
around it.
Example: "That stuffed suit with the
briefcase is a poor excuse for a
 salesman," the manager said
angrily.

 Onomatopoeia: The use of words

that imitate the sounds associated
with the objects or actions they refer
to.
Example: The clap of thunder went
bang and scared my poor dog.

 Oxymoron: A figure of speech in

which incongruous or contradictory
terms appear side by side.
Example: I am as graceful as a bull
in a china shop when I dance.

 Day 2

 Paradox: A statement that appears

to contradict itself.
Example: "This is the beginning of
the end," said Eeyore, always the
pessimist.

 Personification: A figure of speech

in which an inanimate object or
abstraction is endowed with human
qualities or abilities.
Example: That kitchen knife will
take a bite out of your hand if you
don't handle it safely.

 Simile: A stated comparison

(usually formed with "like" or "as")
between two fundamentally
dissimilar things that have certain
qualities in common.
Example: Roberto was white as a
sheet after he walked out of the
horror movie.

 Litotes: A figure of speech

consisting of an understatement in
which an affirmative is expressed
by negating its opposite.
Example: A million dollars is no
 small chunk of change.

 Analogy: It is a figure where an item

is compared with a similar other. A
is like B. Using one thing to
describe another.
Example: The train came out of th
tunnel like a bullet from a gun.
 Allegory - It is the sustained and
extended use of a metaphor across
a whole sentence, paragraph or
entire discourse or narrative.
Example: I feel like a dog today. I
rolled out of my basket and
munched on some biscuit-like
cereal. Scratching as I got on the
train, I sniffed a passing female.
Aruooo!! Down boy!

 Caesura - (pronounced see-ZOO-

ra) refers to a break or pause in the
middle of a line of verse.
Example: To be or not to be, || that
is the question (William
Shakespeare, “Hamlet”)
 Deus ex machina refers to the
circumstance where an implausible
concept or a divine character is
introduced into a storyline, for the
purpose of resolving its conflict and
procuring an interesting outcome.
 Deus Ex Machina is the literary
term that refers to a character or
event that seems to exist just to
effortlessly solve a problem that
seems unsolvable. This character is
almost "divine," and the way that
the problem is solved could be
called "divine intervention."
Example: Cinderella's fairy
godmother comes and solves all of
her problems by magically creating
a dress, coach, and servants so
that Cinderella can go to the ball.
IV. Evaluation
