Come on show them what you’re worth
Make them go oh, oh, oh

A riddle represents an object
indirectly by stating its characteristic
features or peculiarity, providing just enough
informations to call it to mind without naming it.
The hearer or reader then has to identify the
object described.
Examples:
1. Not a priest, not a king but wears different kinds of
clothes? Answer: Clothesline

2. Pedro hides but you can still see his head.

See pages 24-25.

Exercise 2
Search online for Filipino riddles and share
them with the class. Have your classmates guess the
answers to the riddles.
Proverbs or salawikain are pithy
sayings that contain advice or state a
basic truth.
Example:
“If you persevere, you will reap the fruits of your labor.”

Pag may tiyaga, may nilaga.

They don't call them the fruits of labor for nothing.

Hard work and perseverance are needed to reach
your goals. But if you keep trying, one day you will
enjoy the results of your efforts.

Do the Exercise 3. (pp.26-27)

A simile is a figure of speech that
compares two different things using
the words “like” or “as”.

Examples:
● You were as brave as a lion.
● They fought like cats and dogs.
● This contract is as solid as the ground we stand on.
● My love for you is as deep as the ocean.
A metaphor is a figure of speech that is used
to make a comparison between two things that are
not alike but do have something in common. It
simply states the comparison without using "like" or
"as".
Examples:
● Her voice is music to his ears.
(This implies that her voice makes him feel happy)

● It is going to be clear skies from now on.

(This implies that clear skies are not a threat and life is going to be
without hardships)

● The assignment was a breeze.

(This implies that the assignment was not difficult.)
Personification is the attribution of a
personal nature or human characteristics to
something non-human, or the representation
of an abstract quality in human form.
Examples:
● Lightning danced across the sky.

● The car complained as the key was roughly turned in its ignition.

● Rita heard the last piece of pie calling her name.

● My alarm clock yells at me to get out of bed every morning.

● The avalanche devoured anything standing in its way.

● My house is a friend who protects me.

● The moon played hide and seek with the clouds.

 FOLK
NARRATIVES
Myths recount happenings of long-ago. The
main characters are not human beings, but
deities, giants, nymphs, satyrs, and the like,
though they are portrayed with human
attributes.
Legends are about creation and tribal
beginnings, but they focus on human
characters involved with divine beings.
Fables are types of animal tales that teach a
moral using animal characters that have
human personalities.
