B. Main Lesson

Task 1: Motivation
(referring to the PowerPoint presentation)
- All right class, the list of sentences we previously red contains figures of
speech, what you will do is point out the words that serves as a figure of
speech.
(pick a student from the class)

Task 2: Guide Questions

- Now that you have picked out the words from the sentences, I have some
several questions.

1. What do you noticed about the words that you’ve picked out?
2. What do you call a word that gives a figurative meaning to certain
sentences?
3. What are examples of figure of speech?
4. How are these figure of speech any useful in literature?
(responses may be varied among the students)
Task 3: LESSON PROPER

- So, how do we define Figures of speech?

- In common usage, a figure of speech is a word or phrase that means
something more or something other than it seems to say—the opposite of a
literal expression. As Professor Brian Vickers has observed, "It is a sad proof
of the decline of rhetoric that in modern colloquial English the phrase 'a figure
of speech' has come to mean something false, illusory or insincere."
- In rhetoric, a figure of speech is a type of figurative language (such as
metaphor, irony, understatement, or anaphora) that departs from conventional
word order or meaning. Some common figures of speech are alliteration,
onomatopoeia, personification, simile, and metaphor.

(Presentation of the 15 figures of speech)

C. Assessment
 (Give out the link for the quizzizz)
- Now that we have known the different figures of speech, and its meaning, I
have sent a link and this is an individual activity, in which it is related to what
have I discussed to you today.

IV. EVALUATION:

Now that we have learned the various figures of speech and also its meaning and how to
use these figurative words in a way that it is meaningful, also we can now distinguish the
different figures of speech that we do not realize we use in our daily lives before, and
based on the activities we have made, we can now construct sentences, paragraphs
containing figures of speech with such ease.

V. ASSIGNMENT:

- As an assignment, you will need to construct a story about your experiences

this past few week, and apply what you have learned about our lesson by
using figures of speech. A minimum of 5 types of figure of speech is required
for this task.
