Session 1
Synchronous Asynchronous
Learning Targets I can analyze sound devices (personification, irony and hyperbole) in a text heard I can analyze sound devices
and identify real or make-believe, fact on non-fact images. (personification, irony and hyperbole)
in a text heard and identify real or
make-believe, fact on non-fact images.
Preparation Read and Think! (Logical-mathematical, Linguistic)
(drill, review, Direction: Read and analyze the line given.
motivation)
“The flower smiles so bright, it is blinding, as tears fall from its eyes.”
● What can you say about the line?
(Follow up: can flower really smile bright? Can one really smile as bright as the
sun? What can you say about the flower smiling but shedding a tear?)
2. You can change the ordinary manner of expression or use words more than their
literal sense to enhance the way a thought is expressed.
4. For example, the line “The flower smiles.” We use what we call personification
in this line.
6. Another example, in the line “The flower smiles but tears fall from its eyes.” We
use what we call irony.
Irony is a figure of speech in which words are used in such a way that their
intended meaning is different from the actual meaning of the words. It may also
be a situation that ends up in quite a different way than what is generally
anticipated. In simple words, it is a difference between appearance and reality.
More examples:
▪ The doctor is as kind hearted as a wolf.
(Explain: Are wolves kind? Usually not, so this means the doctor is not that
kind hearted. )
▪ His friend’s hand was as soft as a rock.
(Explain: Are rocks soft? No, so this means his friend’s hand is not soft.)
▪ The desert was as cool as a bed of burning coals.
(Explain: Is burning coal cool? No, so this means desert is not cool.)
The figurative speech use in the previous examples can be perceive as real or just a
make believe, a fact or non-fact.

Preparation Complete me! (Spatial and Linguistic Intelligence)
(drill, review, Direction: Identify the picture to complete the lines.

● a pack of wolves
● a pack of cards
● a pack of lies
While some collective nouns (e.g., pack, group) can be used with different
things, most can't. For example, you probably shouldn't say:
● a bouquet of wolves
● a swarm of lions
● a litter of ships
If you see the individuals acting together, as a whole, then you probably treat
the collective noun as singular (with singular verbs and singular pronouns),
for example:
● The jury has delivered its conclusion to the judge.
If you see the individuals acting individually, then you probably treat the
collective noun as plural (with plural verbs and plural pronouns)
for example:
● The juries have not reached a conclusion because they are still
arguing among themselves.
● The shoal were darting in all directions.
As a general rule, you should treat a collective noun as singular unless you
have a good reason for treating it as plural. If it feels a little uncomfortable
treating a collective noun as singular or plural, add a term like members of to
force a plural term.
● The members of the audience are happy.

Hyperbole is when you use language to exaggerate what you meant or
emphasize a point. It’s often used to make something sound much bigger and
better than it actually is or to make something sound much more dramatic.
Irony is a figure of speech in which words are used in such a way that their
intended meaning is different from the actual meaning of the words. It may
also be a situation that ends up in quite a different way than what is generally
anticipated. In simple words, it is a difference between appearance and
