A. Introduction
The teacher will begin by defining and introducing the concept of figures
of speech.
What is a figure of speech?
 A figure of speech is a creative use of language to generate an
effect.
 Language that uses figures of speech is known collectively as
figurative language.
The teacher will ask the students if they can think of examples of figures
of speech they have heard or used before.

SIMILE - A simile compares two dissimilar things using “like” or “as.”
METAPHOR - A metaphor states that one thing is another thing
PERSONIFICATION - Personification is assigning human attributes to nonhuman things.
HYPERBOLE - It is a deliberate exaggeration that adds emphasis, urgency,
or excitement to a statement.
OXYMORON - It is a phrase that uses two contradictory words to create a
new meaning.
