III. Procedure

A. Preliminary Activities

The teacher will divide the class into two groups. Each group will be given an activity
sheet. Using the multimedia, the song Fireworks by Katty Perry will be played and each
group will fill out the missing lyrics. The group with the highest score wins.

Fireworks by Katty Perry

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag

Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from cavin' in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you?
 'Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
 B. Lesson Proper

Activity
Following the conclusion of the game and the announcement of the winner, the
teacher will ask the students to reiterate all the missing lyrics that they have found in the
song. Afterwards, the teacher will tell the pupils that those words are examples of figures
of speech. For example, the part "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?" is an example of
a simile. Another example, the part "'Cause baby, you're a firework" is an example of a
metaphor. After that, the teacher will discuss the figures of speech with the emphasis of
simile and metaphor, which leads to the discussion of its importance in applying it in
poetry. The teacher will discuss that learning and using figurative language in writing
poetry will help learners to build imagery and give words more power. In addition, it
allows students to think figuratively and enhances the beauty of their writing.

Read the poem, "Fall" by Mrs. Kruse

“Fall” by Mrs. Kruse

Fall is cold air rushing on your METAPHOR

cheeks in the morning.

METAPHOR Fall is leaves changing to red,

yellow, orange, and gold.

Fall is as windy as a tornado. SIMILIE

SIMILIE Fall is as grumpy as an old man

Fall is the smell of pumpkins and apple cider. METAPHOR

SIMILIE Fall is like getting exactly what you want for Christmas.

Analysis

After reading the poem, the teacher will bring out a postcard that already has
the words "simile" and "metaphor" written on it. Using the pre-made poem that is written
in a cartolina, identify the figures of speech (simile and metaphor) that are being used.
The post card will be utilized to identify the figure of speech present in the poem.

Abstraction
To see if pupils are following along, the teacher will ask the students to write at least
3 original examples of simile and metaphor. Afterwards, the teacher randomly picks a
student to present their work in class.
 Application

Students will be divided into two groups. Each group will be given a designated
poem. They will work together to find all the figures of speech (simile and metaphor)
that is being utilized in their assigned poem.

They will be using a marker to underline similes and encircle metaphors.

They will go over their work as a class as they discover all of the special figures
used.

FIRST GROUP SECOND GROUP

“Cat” by Steven Lee “Love” by Joyce Stevan

He is a vicious tiger Love is like a painting

His claws are like knives filled with all colors and shades
His eyes are like security cameras
Love is like a never ending story that
looking for trouble.
always begins with a kiss
He’s like black trouble
Love is a space everlasting that fills
He’s a sports car zooming across the with happiness and bliss
streets
Love is an open clear pool where no
He’s a dirty missile to his owner
hate can dare swim
He’s like a violin to my ears
Love is like the circle of eternity
He’s my cat! always there to take for free

Generalization

The teacher will ask students to discuss how they were able to recognize the
figures of speech (simile and metaphor) in the poem and why they are significant in
