“Today were going to discuss another topic,
but before that, I want you to listen a song

And I want you to find words, phrases or

 sentences from the lyrics that you think it
shows a figurative meaning. After listening
and singing the song, you will draw from this
box that contains various idioms taken from
the song lyrics that was played, then you’re

D. Presenting examples/Instances of the new

lesson
A. Presentation
Okay class I have here some examples/or
situation that contains a figurative meaning.

You were with your

friends having a good
time then your mother
called you and said,
“Go home now, your
father is looking for
you. He is boiling mad”

Do you expect to see you your father inside “No sir that’s unbelievable!”
the boiling pot when you go home?

What does the term “boiling mad” mean?

Boiling mad means very angry.

Now let’s take a look for another situation.

My best friend will

join the Division of
Talents tomorrow.
Our teachers tells
him to “bring
home the bacon.”
 Does the teacher mean that he should buy
Bacon and bring it home?
What does the teacher mean when she says,
“bring home the bacon?
Bring home the bacon means to win the
prize.

Andrew will sing the

Philippine National
Anthem during the
program. I told him to
“break a leg” and hug
him tight.

E. Discussing New Concepts and Practicing new

Skills #1
B. Modelling
What have you noticed about the terms:
-Boiling mad
-Bring home the bacon
-Break a leg

So class we called them an Idiomatic

Expressions.

Idiomatic Expressions
-an idiom is a phrase or expression that
That typically presents a figurative, non-
Literal meaning attached to the phrase.
-an idiom’s figurative meaning is
different from the literal meaning.

Examples of Idiomatic Expressions and

meanings:
Idiom Meanings
It’s raining cats and It’s raining hard
dogs
Kill two birds with Get two things done
one stone with a single action
Let the cat out of the Give a way a secret
bag
Leave and learn I made a mistake
A blessing in disguise A good thing that
seemed bad at first
A dime a dozen Something common
Better late than never Better to arrive late
than not to come late
at all
No pain no gain You have to work for
what you want
Time flies when You don’t notice how
you’re having fun long something lasts
when it’s fun
Put yourself together Calm down
Advantage of using idiomatic expressions
1. It’s easy to recognize for some readers.
2. It gets an idea across quickly, in some cases,
allowing to use fewer words and sometimes
describe something well.
3. If used in dialogue, it provides a sense of
character and cultural reference.
4. It is easier to write than finding other words.
5. They can paint a picture.
6. It provides humor.
Disadvantage of using idiomatic expressions
1. Not all readers will recognize it because they
may not be familiar with the idiom.
2. It’s not enough description
3. It’s cliche. For those who can understand it’s
figurative meaning, it lacks creativity and ends up
unimpressive. It’s not always fun to read.
4. It can date your work. Future generations may
not know “it means you heard rumors.
5. Idioms sometimes translate to another
language incorrectly or are understood
differently in various cultures so the meaning
completely different.
6. If common, the idioms are looked over and
ignored, so whatever point you had is
overlooked.

F. Developing Mastery
Guided Practice

Okay now class, I want to divide the class into

three groups. Here’s what you’re going to do,
I have here three idiomatic expressions and
each group representative will have to write
it’s meaning on the board. Do you understand
class? “Yes Sir!”
Are you ready?
“Yes Sir!”
G. Finding practical applications of concepts and
skills in daily living
Independent Practice

H. Making generalizations and abstractions

about the lesson
Okay class are there any questions regarding
to our discussion? “No Sir”

Okay let’s see if you really understand.

Again what is idiomatic expression?
What are the advantage of idiomatic express- -An idiom is a phrase or expression that
Ion? Yes typically presents a figurative, non-Literal
Very good! meaning attached to the phrase.

idiomatic expression? Yes (The students will raise their hands)
