A. Before the Lesson (Preliminaries and Motivation)

Teacher's Activity Student's Activity

- Preliminaries-

"Good morning class!" "Good morning, ma'am!"

"Kindly all rise and let's have our prayer "Ms. Santiago led the prayer: As we
first. Ms. Santiago, please lead the come before the Lord, in the name of
prayer." the father, son, and the holy Spirit.
Almighty father ... Amen."

"You may now take your seats."

"Please say present if your name is "Students take their seats."

called. Mr. Balame, Mr. Escal, Mr. Delo
yola, Mr. Bueno, Ms. Sevilla, Ms. "Students say present once their name is
Ignacio, Ms. Cotiangco ..." called."

"Alright! Very good. No one is absent."

"So, in our previous meeting we

discussed about figurative language. Am "Yes ma'am!"
I correct?"

"But! We only focused on two types,

which is?" "Students answer: Simile and metaphor"

"Good!"

"Okay, anyone who would like to recall "One student raised his/her hand."
what's simile and metaphor is?"

"Yes, Ms. Sevilla?"

"Ms. Sevilla answered: A simile is a
 figure of speech that shows comparison
using 'like' and 'as'. Example: Her words
is as sweet as honey."
"Very good! How about metaphor?" "Another student raised his/her hand."

"Yes, kindly stand up." " The student recited his/her answer: A
metaphor is a figure of speech that
shows similarity to another thing.
Example: The snow is a white blanket."

-Motivation-

"Great! Okay so much for that. Now, I "Students arranged the word as fast as
have here two scrambled words. I want they can and give it to their teacher."
you to arranged it in two minutes. The
first group to give me the arranged word
will receive five points."

"Group 1: testoli"

"Group 2: perlebohy"

"Good! So, the group who will be

receiving plus points is group ____."

"Now, the two scrambled words are?"

"Students answered: Hyperbole and
Litotes."

B. During the Lesson (Lesson Proper)

"Teacher's Activity" "Student's Activity"

"Good! Do you have any idea what the "Ms. Ignacio volunteered: Based on my
words mean?" understanding of hyperbole, it uses
exaggerations to make a point."

"No one answered."

"Thank you. How about litotes?"

"Okay! Eyes on the PowerPoint

presentation. Mr. Balame, read the first "Mr. Balame read the first slide:
slide." Hyperbole, from a Greek word meaning
 "excess" is a type of figure of speech
that uses exaggerations to show
emphasis. It can be used to have an
amusing effect. Example:

• She's a thousand beautiful than other

girls.

• I have ton of works to finished."

"So, Ms. Ignacio is right! Hyperbole is a

figure of speech that uses exaggerations "Students listen attentively to the
to make a point or emphasis on certain teacher."
things. Like the given example, it's said
that 'she's a thousand beautiful than
other girls', this means that the girl is
really beautiful. Another, 'I have tons of
works to finished', that simply means I
have many things to do."

"Did you get it?" "Yes ma'am!"

"Very good! Other examples are ...

Everyone read the second slide." "Everyone read the second slide:

Examples: I told you to maintain your

room clean a million times!

Solving math problems is difficult my

brain will explode.

The girl arranged her cabinet almost

every day a million times.

"Anyone who would like to explain the "Mr. Bueno raised his hand."
first example?

"Yes, please stand up."

"The first example 'I told you to
maintain your room a million times'
simply means the person keeps
reminding you to maintain the
"Very good!" cleanliness of your room but does not
 actually tell it a million times."

"How about the second and third

example?"
"Half of the class raised their hands."
"Okay! Mr. Escal second example and
for the last, Ms. Cañete."
"Mr. Escal explained the second
example:

'Solving math problems is difficult my

brain will explode' means that solving
math problems is not something easy to
do that it may cause you a headache. It
"Good!" does not really mean your head will
literally explode."

"Ms. Canete shared her idea: The third

example 'The girl arranged her cabinet
almost every day a million times' means
that most of the days the girl keeps her
time arranging her cabinet but does not
really mean she is doing it a million
times."

"Yes! That's correct! Thank you, Mr.

Escal and Ms. Canete. Now let's proceed
to Litotes. Anyone who would like to
read?"
"One student volunteered: Litotes,
derived from the Greek word meaning
'simple'. A figure of speech which
employs understatement double
negatives or positive statement is
expressed by negating its opposite
expressions. Example: It's not a bad
grade.

He's no fool.
"Okay! Based on the definition, it's
called litotes if a point is made by That was no pleasant activity.
negating its opposite. Making a point by
Not a bad taste."
saying someone or something is 'not'
something.
 Example: It's not a bad grade. This
means his/her grade is good. Another,
he's no fool. It means he's smart. Then
we have, that was no pleasant activity.
This means it's a horrible activity. And
the last one, not a bad taste. It means the
taste is good.

Did you get it?"

"Yes ma'am!"
