C. Lesson Proper
The teacher will explain what is literal and figurative text.
Figurative language/text – refers to the use of words in a way that deviates from
the conventional order and meaning in order to convey a complicated meaning,
colorful writing, clarity, or evocative comparison. It uses an ordinary sentence to
refer to something without directly stating it
Types of figurative language
Simile
Metaphor
Personification
Onomatopoeia
Simile – is an indirect comparison of two things (using the words ‘like’ or ‘as’)
Examples: The snow was on the ground like a thick warm blanket
Because I was embarrassed my face was as red as a ripe tomato.
Metaphor – a statement that compares two things that are not alike. Unlike
similes, metaphors do not use the words “like” or “as.” Such statements only
make sense when the reader understands the connection between the two
things being compared.
Examples: Love is a battlefield.
The warrior has a heart of stone.
