B. MOTIVATION/ REVIEW OF THE PREVIOUS LESSON

Let us have a recollection of our previous topic:
 ● What is the definition of fiction?
Fiction is literature formed from the writers' imagination and not presented as truth. A novel, a
short tale, or a novella are all examples of fiction literature.
● Why is it crucial to know fiction?
Fiction has the capability of teaching us a great deal about human behavior. Reading and
understanding what fiction is allows one to put oneself in the shoes of others and build empathy.

Praise and reward the learners by giving extra points on reciting and participating in the class.

C. PRESENTATION
FIGURES OF SPEECH- a method of conveying meaning or heightening effect by
comparing or identifying one thing with another that has a meaning or connotation that the
reader or listener is familiar with.
1. SIMILE- It is a figure of speech in which the words "like" or "as" are used to
compare two different objects. A simile is a metaphor that is used to describe
something by comparing it to something else that appears to be unrelated.
Examples:
● Her love for her children is as constant as the passing of time.
● Eren and Armin fought like cats and dogs.
2. METAPHOR- It is a figure of speech that helps convey an idea or establish a
comparison by describing an object or activity in a way that isn't literally true.
Metaphors are utilized in poetry, literature, and anywhere else when people want
to add some flavor to their words.
Examples:
● Your daughter was a shining star in our classroom.
● The tall trees were curtains that surrounded us during our picnic.
3. HYPERBOLE- It's a figure of speech in which an author or speaker exaggerates
to the point of absurdity. It's utilized to emphasize a point or to make a description
more creative and amusing. It's vital to keep in mind that hyperbole isn't supposed
to be taken literally; the audience is aware that it's a stretch.
Examples:
● Mikasa died everyday waiting for Eren.
 ● Annie was so hungry that she could eat dirt right now.
4. IDIOM/S- It's a figurative connotation for a statement, phrase, or permanent
expression in a society. An idiom acquires its meaning through cultural repetition,
and it is frequently presented through literature, the media, well-known persons,
or associations that make sense at first then lose their literal meaning.
Examples:
● Cool as a cucumber - to be very calm under stress.
● Out of the blue - with no warning.
5. PROVERBS- This is a short, frequent phrase used to express general truths in
today's language.
Examples:
● A cat has nine lives - cats can survive seemingly dangerous experiences.
● Actions speak louder than words - actions are a better reflection of one’s
character because it’s easy to say things, but difficult to act on them and
follow through.
