D. PRESENTATION OF OBJECTIVES

At the end of this period, students must be

able to state the meaning of idioms or idiomatic
expressions; identify the meaning of different
idioms; and appreciate the value of
cooperation.

E. UNLOCKING OF DIFFICULT WORDS

Before we start, we are going to unlock first

the following words:
1. Penny- a coin or a unit of money equal to
1/100 of a British pound.
2. Disguise –to furnish with a false
appearance or an assumed identity
3. Bandwagon- a popular activity, effort,
cause, etc., that attracts growing
support.
F. LESSON PROPER
IDIOMS or IDIOMATIC EXPRESSIONS are
phrases or expressions whose meaning can’t be
understood from the ordinary meanings of the
words in it.

For example, I will clean my room “when the

pigs fly”. Meaning, I will never clean my room. -You are the “apple of my

Can anyone give an example of an idiom? she is my favorite.

Very good! -Sam, “hold your horses”. It

Another example, please. means that Sam must be
patient.
Wow! It seems that you are all good in idioms.

Class, remember that every language has

idioms, and they can be difficult to learn if we
are not a native speaker of that language. If
English isn’t our native language, the best
thing that we can do is to have conversations
with native speakers and ask them about
phrases that we don’t understand. Since
idioms are influenced by the culture, learning
the idioms of a language can be very interesting
and enlightening.

b. Analysis
-Ma’am, we need to know
Okay Class, why do we need to know idioms? idioms because they are
already a part of our
communication process.
Also, knowing different
idioms give us additional
knowledge about them.

Very good!

c. Abstraction

reinforces the ideas of students.
