proper
B. MOTIVATION /CONDITIONING
ACTIVITIES
Please read the two sentences on the board. Yes ma’am.
1. Grasshoppers make a high pitched noise.
2. Grasshoppers are fiddlers who play their
legs.
Students, do both sentences mean the
same?
Yes, they do ma’am.
If so, then what the difference among these
two sentences?
The first sentence is directly
mentioned what the speaker
wants to say. But the second
sentence contains figurative
speech.
Perfect. The first sentence doesn’t contain
any figurative language so it’s straight to the
point. However the second sentence
contains figurative language to beautify the
sentence. Our topic today is Literal and
Figurative Language.
C. PRESENTATION OF THE TOPIC
Based on the example above which one do I think, literal language is the
you think is literal and which one is first sentence while the
figurative language?
figurative is second sentence
ma’am.
Correct. The first sentence is Literal
language. Literal language means exactly
what it says. It’s very straight forward to the
point, so the reader/ listener do not have to
extract meaning. In contrast, figurative
language uses different figure of speech to
make it more interesting and the message
conveys more meaningful.
Literal language uses in something that
highly technical like building rockets. You’ll
want to know exactly what the instruction
says without any possible confusion. You
can find literal language anywhere, from a
book report to your favourite novel.
Students, where do you think you can find Mostly in poem ma’am but
text contain of figurative language?
there is also in short story
ma’am.
Great answer. There are some types of
figurative language. They are 1. Hyperbole,
2. Idiom, 3. Metaphor, 4. Personification, 5.
Simile.
In hyperbole, you exaggerated a sentence
for emphasis purpose. Example; I can smell
my mom’s cooking from miles away. I have
tons of homework.
Students can you give an example of I’ve seen this movie
hyperbole? Yes please.
thousand times, ma’am.
for
Fantastic. Next is Idiom. It’s an expression
in which the intended meaning is different
from literal meaning. Example; It’s raining
cats and dogs. Who let the cat out of the
bag
Students can you give an example of idiom? A little bird told me, ma’am.
Yes please.
Another great answer. Next there is
metaphor. It is direct comparison between
to dissimilar things. Example: Her voice is
music to my ear. Your mother is a saint.
Students can you give an example of
metaphor? Yes please.
You are my knight in shining
armour, ma’am.
Good. Let’s proceed to personification. Its
literary devices used to give human
characteristic
to
nonhuman
objects.
Example; The palm trees were dancing in
the wind. The wind sang a soothing song.
Students can you give an example of
Personification? Yes please.
The carved pumpkin smiled at
us, ma’am.
Very good. Lastly we have simile. It’s a
comparison between to unlike things by
using “as” and “like”. Example; My sister is
as noisy as bee. His blue eyes are like the
ocean deep.
Students can you give an example of simile?
Yes please.
The old man is as wise as an
owl ma’am.
Fantastic! You really make a good work.
D. DISCUSSION

Yes, we do ma’am.
If so, please explain the different between
literal and figurative language.
Literal language means that
the message conveys is exact
and straight to the point. It
doesn’t use any figurative
devices.
While
figurative
language
uses
figurative
devices and the reader/
audience should extract the
meaning ma’am.
