A SEMI- DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN ENGLISH 7

I. OBJECTIVES

At the end of the period, the students will able to:

 Define analogy;
 Determine the relationship of a given set of words in analogy;
 Compare traits of characters in the story read using analogy; and
 Supply terms to complete analogous series of words based on sentence form, analogous pair and
figurative analogy.

II. SUBJECT MATTER

Topic: Analogy to Show Relationships of Words

Reference: English Learner’s Manual
Materials: Activity Sheets, Pictures

III. METHODOLOGY

A. Activities

1. Prayer and checking of attendance

2. Motivation

 Game: “number sequence”

 The class will be exposed to a mind game wherein they are to be asked by the teacher to answer orally
the series of numbers.
 After the activity, the teacher will ask the following questions:
a. How did you solve the problem in sequencing the numbers?
b. Do you think the skill you applied in solving such problem can also be applied in analogy?
How?

3. Presentation

 The teacher will rediscuss what “Analogy” is and its first-sixth types.

 Analogy is a pair of terms that has common relationship. In most cases, you will not only
determine the common relationship between each pair but you will also have to identify which term
makes up each pair. Usually, you are given two terms in the format A : B, which could be read as A
related to B (Barbacena, et. al., 2010).

Example:
(A) : (B)

kitchen : house - Kitchen and House are related since kitchen is part of the house.
 Writers use analogy to connect unfamiliar words or new ideas with common and familiar objects. It
functions as description or explanation of one thing by examining its similarities and differences and forces
the reader to understand the connection between them. Using this technique, vocabulary skills as well as
speed in reading comprehension are enhanced.
  Types of Relationships in Analogy

There are seven common types of relationships in analogy.

1. Part to Whole
A relationship in analogy in which one term is part of the other term.
Example:
eyes : face (The eyes are part of the face.)

2. Cause and Effect

A relationship in analogy in which one term is the result of the other term.
Example:
she wanted to buy a dress : she went to the mall
(She wanted to buy a dress so she went to the mall.)

3. Person to Situation
A relationship in analogy in which one term is the work place of the other.
Example:
saleslady : mall (A saleslady works in a mall.)

4. Synonym
A relationship in analogy in which both terms have the same meaning.
Example:
little : small (Both terms mean the same.)

5. Antonym
A relationship in analogy in which the terms are opposite in meaning.
Example:
elegant : unattractive (The words have opposite meaning.)

6. Geography
A relationship in analogy in which one of the terms can be situated in the other.
Example:
shopping mall : city (Shopping mall is found in the city.)

7. Time
A relationship in analogy in which both terms speak of time element.
Example:
morning : evening (Both indicate time.)

 The teacher will ask the students examples of analogy in each type.

4. Analysis

 Activity: Mirror! Mirror!

 Directions: Draw an object that you can compare yourself with. Using figurative analogy, write a 5-
sentence paragraph to explain the comparison. Follow the model given. Utilize the back page to
accomplish this activity.

Example:
I am as lovable as a flower because
______________________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________________
