2. Presentation of the lesson
Bsed on our activity, what do you
think is our lesson today?

It is about Simile, Oxymoron, Hyperbole,

Metaphor and Personification.
That is right. Those are examples of
a literary device which is our lesson
for today.

For this lesson, you are expected to:

1. Define the different literary

devices;
2. Appreciate literary devices by
differentiating each
characteristics; and
3. Construct five sentences using
literary any of the devices.

3. Activity
Now, let us have another activity.
This activity is called “You complete
me”. I will show you some pictures
and you will have to guess the right
word for the pictures to complete the
sentence.
Do you understand?

Yes, Ma’am!

Her____is like a _____.

Her heart is like a stone.

 ____ is_____.
Time is gold.

He is_____in her _____.

He is drowning in her eyes.

The____ fell into the ___with a _____.

The sack fell into the river with a splash.

4. Analysis
What have you noticed in our
activity? The sentences have deep meanings,
Ma’am.

What does the first sentence

means?
A heart of stone is an unkind person,
Ma’am.

Yes, very good!

If you noticed, you need to think deeply what
those sentence really means. Those
sentences are example of the topic that we
are going to discuss today wich is literary
devices.

Literary devices are specific techniques

that allow a writer to convey a deeper
meaning that goes beyond what's on the
page.

They are important because they help

language become more infinite and
exciting.

5. Abstraction
Were going to discuss the five most
commonly used literary devices. The first
one is:

Simile

The first type of figure of speech is Simile.

Can someone please read the definition of

Simile.
Simile is a figures of speech in which
comparison is made between unlike
objects using words like and as.
Thank you!

Simile is a literary device that shows a

direct comparison using the words “like”
and “as” .

Example:
1. The man was as tall as a tree.
This sentence compares the man to
a tree.

2. Today, I am feeling as fresh as

daisy.
There is comparison in this
sentence between the person’s
feelings and a daisy.

Notice that they use the word “as’ when

comparing.

Do you have any question for simile?

 None, Ma’am.
If there is none, can you give another
examples of sentences that shows a
comparison using the word as or like.

This bag is as light as a feather.

What is being compared in your sentence?

The bag and the feather.

That's right!

Another example using the word “like”.

Anna Jumps like a frog.

What is the comparison in your sentence?

Anna and a frog.
Very good! There is a comparison in the
sentence and there is a use of the word as
and like.

Moving on, to our next common type of

figure of speech, which is the metaphor.

Kindly please read the definition of

metaphor.
Metaphor is a comparison between two
things that are otherwise unrelated. A
common definition of metaphor can be
described as a comparison that shows how
two things that are not alike in most ways
are similar in another important way.

Thank you!

If simile uses the word like or as in

comparing different ideas, in metaphor it is
also a comparison between two unlike
objects without using the word “like” or
“as”.

Example:
Love is a battlefield.
Her eyes were diamonds.
You’re my home.
So, it has a direct comparison that
disregard the use of like or as. It makes a
direct comparison between two unlike
things in order to highlight the one (or so)
shared quality between those two things.

Another example of metaphor?

My mom has a heart of gold.

My friend's sister, Sharon, is a night owl.

My hands were icicles because of the cold

weather.

Okay, very good!

For the next literary device, we have

personiication. Kindly read the definition.

Personification is a figures of speech giving

a human attributes to an inanimate objects
or giving the human characteristics.

Personification is a figure of speech in

which an idea or thing is given human
attributes and/or feelings or is spoken of as
if it were human.

Example:

The cake is calling my name.

The cake is not actually calling my name

but it attracted me to eat the cake because
it looks very delicious.

The star winked at me.

The star doesn't really winked at us

because it was just twinkling brightly.

Can you give another examples of a

personification?
The tree invited us to play.

Thank you! What is the human attribute in

this sentence?
 The human attribute in the sentence is
invited

Another example?.
The sun is smiling at me.

What is human attribute in your sentence?

The human attribute in the sentence is
smiling

Very good!

Moving on to the fourth figures of speech,

which is the Hyperbole.

Can someone please read the definition of

hyperole?
Hyperbole uses an exaggerated words and
it is overstated and unbelievable and not to
be taken seriously.

Hyperbole is often a boldly overstated or

exaggerated claim or statement that adds
emphasis without the intention of being
literally true.

Example:

I am so hungry I could eat a horse.

Do you think you can eat a wholw horse

when you’re hungry? No, this is just an
exageration.

Her smile is one kilometer wide.

You will see your crush at the hallway, of

course you’ll have a wide smile but not one
kilometer wide because that is impossible.

Can you give examples of sentences using

hyperbole?
She cried a river when her dog died.
What was exagerated in the sentence?

It is a form of exageration because we all

know no one can cry as many as a river.

Another example?
It’s raining cats and dogs.

Good example, because it is impossible

that it will be raining cats and dogs, right?

Do you have some questions or

clarifications for the Hyperbole?

Okay moving on to our next common type

of figure of speech, which is the Oxymoron.

Kindly read the definition.

Oxymoron is a figures of speech in which

apparently contradictory terms appear in
conjunction.

An oxymoron is a figure of speech that

combines contradictory words with
opposing meanings, like “old news,”
“deafening silence,” or “organized chaos.”

Example:

My brother’s cooking is amazingly awful.

In this sentence, the two contradicting

words are amazing and awful. There is a
contradictio between the use of words. It is
how you describe a disaster as being
“amazingly awful”.

Can you give an example setntence using

the literary device oxymoron.

His girlfriend is pretty ugly.

The contradicting words are pretty and
ugly.

Another example?
 I was clearly confused earlier.
The contradictingg words are clearly and
confused.

Okay. Do you have any clarifications?

None, Ma’am.

What are the common types of literary

devices again?
Simile, Metaphor, personification,
hyperbole and oxymoron.

Very good!
