LESSON 6: USE ANALOGIES

LEARNING COMPETENCY: Use analogy to describe or make a point

You were taught in your previous lesson that analogy is a powerful tool which challenge and encourage you to think critically.
It is a strong rhetorical device used to make rational argument and support ideas by showing connections and comparisons between
dissimilar things which highlights how they are like.
You learned that, there are 7 types of analogy, these are: Synonyms, Antonyms, Part to Whole, Cause and Effect, Person to
Situation, Geography or Location and Time. These analogies help you familiarize with concepts that are abstract. This lesson will guide
you to visualize these concepts. Understanding analogies is essential in reasoning, learning, communicating and problem solving which
will contribute a profound and broad effect on you on how you view and understand the world.
VOCABULARY LIST
The following key words will be used as you go along this learning process:
 Literary Device refers to the structures used by writers in their works to convey messages in a simple manner to the readers.
 Analogy is a literary device comparing two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.
 Simile is a figure of speech comparing two unlike items using like or as.
 Metaphor is a figure of speech comparing two unlike items without using as or like.

WARMING UP
4 pics 1 word is a word guessing game. It presents you with 4 pictures for you to guess what specific word fits with the theme of the
photos presented. The answer of the two words is an analogy. Number 1 is done for you.

LEARNING ABOUT IT

You probably aren’t aware that analogies occur frequently in everyday speech; hence, they are important part of language.
Understanding analogies does not only improve your writing and speaking skills, but also your logical and reasoning skills.
Analogy is a literary tool used in comparing two different things in order to highlight some point of similarity. On the part of the audience
(reader and listener), a complicated concept becomes easier and clearer to comprehend with the use of this comparison tool.
You have to remember that the main features of analogy are:
 a comparison between two unlike things
 show relationship between two words
 extended and often situational
 a way to explain a complex subject in familiar or simpler terms
Analogy can be used to:
 explain a process  link an unfamiliar idea with common object
 define a concept  catch the attention of the readers or
 narrate event listeners
 describe a person or place
 explain a complex subjects
 Since making comparisons is so useful in both speaking and writing, analogy is therefore a literary device to use. However, an
analogy is more of a logical argument than a simple literary device. You may have noticed that some common analogies are built
around similes and metaphor.
To show you the similarities and differences of the three, take a closer look at the Venn diagram below:
Examples of Analogy
The following is a list of some common analogies and the
corresponding explanation of their meaning.
1. Life is a race.
The one who keeps running wins the race, and the one who stops
loses.
2. The pen is mightier than a sword.
Just as a sword is the weapon of a warrior, a pen is the weapon of a
writer.
3. He is like a rock.
Means he is steadfast and strong.
4. I feel like a fish out of water.
This implies that you are not comfortable with your surrounding

PRACTICE TASK 1: Making Connections. Choose the word from the box that you think makes a good analogy with the given pictures.

1. 2. 3.
: _______________ : __________________ : __________________

4. : _______________ 5. : _______________ 6. : _______________

PRACTICE TASK 2: Written Defence.

Using your answers in PRACTICE TASK 1, fill in the blanks to complete the analogy statement and the reasons why you consider them
related.
1. ___________________ is like a __________________ because _____________________________________________________.
2. ___________________ is like a __________________ because _____________________________________________________.
3. ___________________ is like a __________________ because _____________________________________________________.
4. ___________________ are like a __________________ because ____________________________________________________.
5. ___________________ is like a __________________ because _____________________________________________________.
6. ___________________ is like a __________________ because _____________________________________________________.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

LESSON 7: Transcoding Information

LEARNING COMPETENCY: Transcode information from linear to non-linear texts and vice-versa.(EN8RC-IIe-11)

Non-Linear Presentations/Graphic organizers are just so simple—just a few shapes and lines—yet these tools (non-linear texts) help a lot
in showing and explaining some given information easily, which sometimes linear texts (sentences and paragraphs) cannot. Presenting information
in both text (linear) and graphic (non-linear) formats is one of the most basic ways to make a lesson more understandable to all students; and this is
what this module is all about.
VOCABULARY LIST
The following key words will be used as you go along this learning process:
o Linear text refers to traditional text that needs to be read from beginning to the end. Generally, texts printed on paper are
considered as linear texts.
o Non-linear text is the opposite of linear text. It is nonlinear and non-sequential. Visuals or graphs are examples of nonlinear
texts.
o Transcode means to convert (language or information) from one form of coded representation to another.
o Graph is a diagram showing the relation between variable quantities, typically of two variables, each measured along one of
a pair of axes at right angles. (ex: circle graphs, bar graphs),
o Chart is a sheet of information in the form of a table or diagram.
o Graphical organizer is a visual and graphic display that shows the relationships between facts, terms, and or ideas within a
learning task.

WARMING UP
Identify the form of the following non-linear presentations as shown below. Write the letter of the correct answer. Choices are found in the box.
A. Bar graph B. Line graph C. Pie graph
D. Table E. Venn diagram

___________________ ___________________ ___________________ ___________________ ___________________

LEARNING ABOUT IT
A. What is linear text?
Linear text is a text that is written in a traditional way without the aid of graphics. It is read from left to right, from beginning to end, and has
syntactic and grammatical features. It is presented in a paragraph form just like what is shown in box A. The author of the text decides the order or
sequence of the text.
Examples: Print: novels, short stories, poems, educational texts, news articles and letters.

B. What is non-linear text?

Non-linear text is represented using different kinds of graphics such as charts and graphs and other figures. It is also called non-linear
because the reader does not read it sequentially; instead the reader of the text decides the sequence in reading the text.
Examples:
A line graph is used to record and present changes in data over a period of time.

A bar graph works similarly to a line graph. It only differs in the use of
bars of different heights to show different values.

Venn diagram is a diagram that consists of two overlapping circles that often show
comparison and contrast.

A pie chart is a circular chart that is divided into fractions used

to present proportions
out of the whole.

A flowchart is a type of diagram representing a process using different symbols

containing information about steps or a sequence of events. Each of these symbols
in linked with arrows to illustrate the flow direction of the process.
PRACTICE TASK 1:
Analyze the statements below. Write L if the statement is a linear text and write NL if it is a non-linear text.
_________1. Summary of Maria Makiling.
_________2. Enrollment graph of Gainza National High School.
_________3. A pie chart showing a budget plan of a government employee.
_________4. A short story of Rizal’s life.
_________5. A bar graph about CoViD-19 positive patients in Camarines Sur.
