2.Review

What are the two kinds of meaning?

The two kinds of meaning are Connotation and
denotation.
Very good! What is Connotation?
Ma’am, connotation is all about the emotional and
imaginative association of words.
Very good! Will you please repeat the meaning
of connotation Kevin. Ma’am, connotation is all about the emotional and
imaginative association of words.
How about the meaning of denotation?
Ma’am denotation is the literal meaning of a word.

That’s right! Will you please repeat, May.

Ma’am denotation is the literal meaning of a word.
Very good! Now, to check if you really
understand our lesson, let us have a game. This No, Ma’am.
game is called “Give Me a Smile”. Do you
know how to play this game?

Listen carefully as I explain the mechanics of

the game. I will group you into two (2) groups. Yes Ma’am
This side will be group 1 and this side will be
group 2. Of course, I will be needing 5
representatives for each group who will have a
chance to put smiles on our game chart. One by
one, each representative of the group will
proceed in front and identify whether the
sentence signifies denotation or connotation. If
you think it has denotative meaning, put your
smiley in this column. If you think it has a
connotative meaning, put smiley in this
column. You will be given 1 point for every
correct answer. The first group to finish the
game will earn additional one point. The group
who earns the most points will be the winner.
Do you understand?

However, before we start playing, let me show

these reward batteries. Each group will receive
one of these. Every point you get for each game Yes, Ma’am.
in this class will be equivalent to an energy
ball. Then, these balls will be collected in your
reward batteries. Of course, the group that will
collect more balls by the end of our lesson will
receive a special gift. Is it clear to you, class?

Do you have any questions?

Are you ready to win this game?

Let the game begin! None, Ma’am.

2.Cellphone is a tool used to communicate with
other people.

with the energy balls that they have received.

called “Picture Reading”. With the same group

representatives from the game earlier will not Yes, Ma’am.
be the ones to represent the group this time. I
have two (2) boxes here. One for group 1 and
one for group 2. Each box has 3 divisions. Each
division has pictures that represent words to
form a sentence. As a group, you must form
three (3) sentences from the pictures as clues.
Paste them on the game chart and write the
sentence you formed under each set of pictures.
Each correct answer will be equivalent to one
(1) point. The fastest group to finish the game
will have an additional one (1) point. Class, to
win this game, you must quickly form correct
sentence from each set of pictures. Remember
that every point you get will be equal to energy
balls! Did you understand the mechanics of this
game?

Let us now begin!

will discuss three of them. Do you have any
 idea what are those?
Okay, those are Simile, Metaphor and
Personification

First is Simile. Will you please read the

meaning of Simile?

In other words, simile is one of the most used

literary devices, referring to the practice of
comparisons between two unrelated and
dissimilar things, people, beings, places, and
concepts. Similes are marked using the
words “as” and like.

Examples: Simile is used to compare two unlike things or subjects

1.She sings like an angel. with the use of “like and as’’.
2.He is as brave as a lion.
3.Life is like a rollercoaster.

Now class, each of the members of the group

will receive a head dress. Please wear them
because we will wear them for our next game!
Listen carefully to the mechanics of the game. I
am going to flash sentences on the screen. Then
you are going to identify the figure of speech
used in each sentence. If it is Simile, all of
those who are wearing “Smiley” head dress will Ma'am, maybe it's all about the comparison of things
stand, if it is Metaphor, all of those who are using different words.
wearing “Wow” head dress will stand; and if it
is Personification, all of those who are wearing
“Kiss” head dress will stand. If all the members
of the group correctly identified the figure of
speech used in each sentence, your group will
be receiving one (1) point for each correct item.
Do you understand the mechanics of our game?

Are you ready?

Alright! Let us now begin!

Let us give “Pak Ganern Clap” to the winning

group!

Yes Ma’am
