A. Development Activities
1. Presentation
Class, are you familiar with those words that you
have found in the puzzle?

What is it? “Yes, Sir.”

Exactly, okay class, our lesson for today is all
about the Figures of Speech. “It is the common type of the Figures of Speech.
 2. Discussion
May I know your idea about what is figurative
language?

Very good! All your idea is correct.

Figurative language is used and should be (students’ answers may vary)
understood imaginatively and non-literally. It is
composed of tropes or figures of speech. There
are several figures of speech. The most commonly (students will listen attentively)
used by authors are:

Simile - is comparing unlike objects, which have

something in common through the use of
expressions ‘like’ or ‘as’.

Example:
“Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? or fester
like a sore
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar
over –
Like a syrupy sweet?”

________, can you give an example of a simile?

Very nice! So let’s proceed with type which is the

Metaphor. Kindly read _______.

It is a means of comparing things that are
essentially unlike; the comparison however is
implied unlike simile – that is, the figurative term
is substituted for or identified with the literal term.
Like for example:
Metaphor comes from the Greek word meta
and trans which means across; phor and fer
which mean carry. Hence, metaphor treats
something as if it were something else.

“Hope is the things with feathers

That perches in the soul (students will listen attentively)
And sings the tune without words
and never stops - at all- “

Next is the Onomatopoeia

It is a sound word that uses words that imitate
sounds associated with objects or actions.
Like for example:

“How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,

In the icy air of night!

The sound of bells: tinkle, jingling and tinkling

are examples of onomatopoeia.

Next is the Personification

On the other hand, it endows human attributes,
qualities or abilities to inanimate objects or
abstractions.
Like for example:

“Ah, William, we’re weary of weather,”

Said the sunflowers, shining with dew.
“Our traveling habits have tired us.
Can you give us a room with a view?”

The sunflowers here are given the human ability

to speak.

Next is Hyperbole/overstatement.
Kindly read __________.

Aside from achieving emphasis, hyperbole is used It is the exaggeration for emphasis or ‘in the
to simply achieve humor. For example: service for truth’; the exaggeration can create a
vivid and instant picture of the idea.
“Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun:
O I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run”

Next is the Alliteration

It is the repetition of the initial (first) consonant
sound (not letter) in a series of words/phrases.
For example:

“Peter piper picked a peck of pickled pepper A

peck of pickled pepper Peter piper pick If Peter
piper picked a peck of pickled pepper, Where’s
the peck of pickled pepper Peter piper pick?”

The initial consonant /p/ sound is repeated all over

the text.

Next is the Apostrophe.

Kindly read it ____________.

“It is addressing someone absent as if s/he were

For example:
“Death be not proud, though some have called
thee Mighty and dreadful, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou thinkest, thou dost
overthrow,
Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.”
present, someone dead as if s/he were alive or
something, and someone non-human as if
human.”
(students will listen attentively)

Next is the Synecdoche

It is the use of the part for the whole or the whole
for the part. For example:

“The western wave was all a-flame

The day was well was nigh done!
Almost upon the western wave
Rested the broad bright Sun”

Next is the Metonymy

It is the use of something closely related to
substitute the thing actually meant or when
something is described indirectly by referring to
things around it. For example:

“Malacañan Palace declared Martial Law in

Mindanao.”

Next is the Paradox. Yes _______ kindly read.

For example:
“Nobody wants to go to that restaurant because it
is crowded”

Lastly, the Oxymoron

It is a figure of speech where two obviously
contradictory terms are juxtaposed or are side-by-
side.
For the example:

“Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate!

O anything, of nothing, first create!
O heavy lightness! Serious vanity!
Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick
health!
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love feel I, that feel no love in this. Dost thou
not laugh?”

Application

teacher will tell the assigned activity for each
group and they will be given ample time to finish
