*AFTER
Famous Examples of Idioms in Literature
 Application
Set my teeth on edge - In Henry IV, Part 1,
Hotspur complains about how much he hates
poetry, saying, "And that would set my teeth
nothing an edge, nothing so much as mincing (The pupils will now read that
poetry." Today the phrase is used to express idioms literature)
distaste for something, particularly annoyance,
and also discomfort, like the noise of nails
dragging on a chalkboard.

There's method in my madness - In Hamlet,

Polonius observes Hamlet's antics and says,
"Though this be madness, yet there is method
in't." He suspects Hamlet isn't behaving as
irrationally as he seems to be on the surface.
The phrase has changed slightly, but the
meaning is the same: Even though your action
seems random, you have a purpose to them.

Dead as a doornail - Though this phrase is

perhaps better known as the opening
description of Ebenezer Scrooge's partner
Jacob Marley in A Christmas Carol, it was
previously used by Shakespeare. In Henry IV,
Part 2 Jack Cade says, “I have eat no meat
these five days; yet, come thou and thy five
men, and if I do not leave you all as dead as a
doornail, I pray God I may never eat grass
more.” The phrase is still used emphatically,
implying that something is so dead it's as if it
were never alive in the first place.

The world is my oyster - In The Merry Wives

Of Windsor, when Falstaff refuses to lend
Pistol money Pistol draws his sword and says,
"Why, then the world's mine oyster, which I
with sword will open.” Today the phrase is full
of optimism rather than violence and is used to
say the world is full of possibilities and you
can do anything.

Directions: The one student will draw a

rolled-paper in the box which contains lots of
idiomatic expression written. Then, another
student will draw another rolled-paper to
another box which contains the corresponding
meanings of the idiomatic expression.

Generalization:
Idiomatic Expressions- an
idiom is a group of words
whose literal meaning is
different than the actual
meaning of the expression.
 (The pupils will now raise their
hands and share their thoughts.)
 Generalization Teacher, I learned that there were
*What have you learned in our discussion? different functions of the simple
tenses of the verb.
*Okay, very good
Teacher, I learned on how to
*How about the short story of The Midas identify the present, past, and
Touch? What can you say in story and what future tense.
have you realized?
Teacher, I have learned that even
we have everything but still we are
*Very good not contented, we cannot be
completely happy.
