A Semi-detailed Lesson Plan in Literature

Difference between Simile & Metaphor

I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student will be able to:
a. Distinguish the differences between Simile and Metaphor,
b. Interpret the meaning of Similes and Metaphors in Context, and
c. Speak out the importance of knowing the limitation of comparing person and things directly.

IFL: A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. Proverbs 22:11

II. Subject Matter


Topic: Difference between Simile and Metaphor (Figures of Speech)
Reference: English Language For Everyday Living
Instructional Materials: Computer-based, online class, work sheet

III. Procedure
A. Preliminary Activities
a.) Drill
The teacher will lead the students to perform the ice breaker.

b.) Review
What was your topic yesterday?
What’s the difference between Literal and Figurative?
How will you define figures of speech?

B. Lesson Proper
a.) Activity
The class will be divided into five groups. Each group will be given an activity
sheet.
Using the multimedia, the song Fireworks by Katy Perry will be played and each
group will fill out the missing lyrics.
The group with the highest score wins.

b.) Analysis
 What is Simile?
- A simile is a figure of speech that makes a comparison, showing similarities
between two different things. Unlike a metaphor, a simile draws resemblance
with the help of the words “like” or “as.” Therefore, it is a direct comparison.

 What is Metaphor
- A metaphor is a figure of speech containing an implied comparison, in which
a word or phrase ordinarily and primarily used of one thing is applied to
another. For example, “the curtain of night” or “all the world’s stage”

EXAMPLES

My father is a carabao in a field.


 Is the father really a carabao or he is a hard working farther?
 Is it a direct or indirect comparison of a father to the carabao?
 What figure of speech is the direct comparison of unlike two nouns
again?
 How is it formed?

I am a horse because of my legs.

 Is the subject I really a horse? If not, what does this sentence really
mean?
 Is it a Simile or Metaphor? Explain its meaning.
c.) Abstraction
While both similes and metaphors are used to make comparisons, the difference between
similes and metaphors comes down to a word. Simile use the words like or as to compare
things- “Life is like a box of chocolates.” In contrast, metaphors directly state a
comparison- “Love is a battlefield.”
Here are some examples of similes and metaphors:
Life is like a box of chocolates. (Simile)
My life is an open book. (Metaphor)
That baby is as cute as a button. (Simile)
Baby, you’re a firework. (Metaphor)

d.) Application
Group Activity: Each group should have a representative who must answer these
questions.
1. Do you think that we still have to consider other people’s feelings in comparing
them to others things?

IV. Assessment
On a one-half sheet of paper, answer the following questions:
What do these figurative languages mean?
1. George is lighting as he runs the race.
2. Cindy is a fish when she swims.
3. Mary was a sweet pie.
4. Tom is a computer when he does his math.
5. Mark’s voice is velvet.

V. Assignment
On a short bond paper, make a three-stanza jingle using simile and metaphor. It will be presented
next meeting. Be creative!!!
