● Begin by asking students if they know what the figures of speech are.
● Define what is the figure of speech.
FIGURES OF SPEECH - a form of expression used to convey meaning or
heighten effect often by comparing or identifying one thing with another that
has a meaning or connotation familiar to the reader or listener.
2. Explanation of Simile, Metaphor and Personification (10 minutes)

● Explain the definition of Simile, Metaphor and Personification.
● SIMILE - a comparison between two dissimilar objects that uses the
word “like” or “as”.
Example: Don ate his salad like a vacuum cleaner.
● METAPHOR - occurs when a word or phrase is applied to an object or

action in a way that cannot be taken literally.
- a comparison of two unlike things based on the similarity of
their qualities without the use of “like” or “as”.
Example: The sun was a furnace.
● PERSONIFICATION - a comparison that applies human attributes to

something nonhuman.
Example: Lightning danced across the night sky.
● Provide examples of each figure of speech.
3. Guided Practice (20 minutes)

● Give a sample of a poem.
"Desiderata" by Max Ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be
in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;

it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love;

for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of
youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.

And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

● Aridity - the quality or state of being extremely dry due to a lack of

● Disenchantment - a feeling of disappointment about someone or
something
● Perennial - lasting or existing for a long or apparently infinite time;
