IV. Procedure
A. Preparation
B. Motivation
C. Discussion Proper
Figurative language creates figures (pictures) in the mind of the reader or listener. These
pictures help convey the meaning faster and more vividly than words alone. We use figures of
speech in "figurative language" to add colour and interest, and to awaken the imagination.
1. Simile
The most commonly used figure of speech, it directly compares one object to another, using
words 'as', 'as though', 'as if', 'as '.. as' and 'like'
E.g. Eyes as blue as the sky and deep like the ocean
2. Metaphor
It is similar to simile but uses indirect comparison. It compares two things by saying one thing is
another thing. It does not use the words like or as.
3. Personification
Personification simply means making inanimate things behave in a very human like way.
4. Hyperbole
It is another very commonly used figure of speech, which simply translated means exaggeration.
5. Synecdoche
It uses either the part of an object to describe the whole or vice versa.
It is a diversion of discourse from the topic at hand to addressing some person or thing, either
present or absent.
D. Activity
The class will be divided into 4. The teacher will post 4 different pictures on the board.
Each group will be given different specific sentence which they are going to post beside the
picture of which they think the given sentence belongs.
The teacher will call somebody from each group to tell the class about his/her
observation about the picture and why their group think that the given sentence is appropriate
for that picture.
E. Generalization (Summary)
The class will be grouped in to two and each of group shall be given a copy of a poem.
They will be tasked to find the figurative languages in the poem. After five minutes, the leader or
a member of the group shall write their answers on the board and present it in class.
I’m making a pizza the size of the sun, a pizza that’s sure to weigh more than a ton, a
pizza too massive to pick up and toss, a pizza resplendent with oceans of sauce. I’m topping my
pizza with mountains of cheese, with acres of peppers, pimentos, and peas, with mushrooms,
tomatoes, and sausage galore, with every last olive they had at the store. My pizza is sure to be
one of a kind, my pizza will leave other pizzas behind, my pizza will be a delectable treat that all
who love pizza are welcome to eat. The oven is hot, I believe it will take a year and a half for my
pizza to bake. I hardly can wait till my pizza is done, my wonderful pizza is the size of the sun. -
