practicing new skills
#1
Very good! Figures of speech is the creative use of language
to make a greater effect on your readers or listener. Today, we
will be discussing figures of speech that show comparison
which are simile, metaphor and personification. Let’s start
with simile. Who would like to read the definition? Yes, SIMILES are one of the most commonly used figure of speech;
Letty? referring to the practice of drawing parallels or comparisons
between two unrelated and dissimilar things, people, beings,
places, and concepts. They are marked by the use of words ‘as’
or such ‘as’ or ‘like’.

Thank you, Letty. A simile is a literary device that compares


two things that are different from each other but have similar
qualities. These are generally formed through the usage of the
words ‘as’ or ‘like’.
When we say simile, it is the comparison between two
different things, always by using the words ‘like’ or ‘as’. For
example;

1. Annette is growing like a weed

2. Ralph ran as fast as a cheetah.

3. Mai was as busy as a bee, juggling work, family and social


commitments.

But Class remember that not because it has ‘like’ and ‘as’ in a
sentence it is already a simile. Take a look on this example:

Not a simile: I like pizza.


Simile: The moon is like a pizza.

There should be a comparison between two different things.

Did you understand what simile is, Class? Yes, Ma'am!

Who wants to give their own example? Yes Rita? Myra's skin is as white as snow.
Very good, Rita! Who else wants to give their own example? Mike's blue eyes are like the ocean.
Yes Lyssa?

Excellent! Thank you, Lyssa. Anyone questions about simile, None, Ma'am.
Class?
Ma'am, metaphors are used to make a direct comparison
between two different things, in order to refer to a particular
Alright, let's proceed to metaphor. Do you know what quality to the first.
metaphor is, Class? Yes, Mary?

Yes, that's right. As it says here, a metaphor describes a person [Link] is a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs.
or object by referring to something that is considered to have
similar characteristics to that person or object. Examples of
metaphors are, kindly read example number 1, Remus?

1. Life is a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs.


2. The world is a stage, and we are all actors.
3. Her voice is music to my ears.

Thank you, Remus. Now Class, who can tell me what’s being
compared in the first example? Yes, Lupin? The things that were compared in the sentence is life and
rollercoaster, Ma’am.
Very good! You see, Class, although life and rollercoasters are
two different things they are being compared metaphorically
because the have similarities and that is they both have ups
and downs. Do get it, Class? Yes, Ma’am!

We have here other examples;

The world is a stage, and we are all actors.


Her voice is music to my ears.
Did you understand what a metaphor is class?
Yes, Ma’am!
That’s great. Who wants to give an example and tell? Yes,
Sirius? My hands were icicles because of the cold weather.

Very good! Who else wants to give an example? Yes, Ms. Umbridge has a heart of stone.
Bellatrix?
Yes, Ma’am!
Excellent! Did you understand, Class?

Now, let’s discuss the difference between simile and


metaphor. Based on your understanding, what is the difference Ma’am, based on my understanding, the difference between
between simile and metaphor? Anyone? Yes, Draco? simile and metaphor is that simile uses the words “like” and
“as” to compare thing directly while metaphor doesn’t use these
Very good, Draco! Simile and metaphor have something in words but compares two different things based on their
common but do not be confused. Remember that simile uses similarities.
“like and “as” to compare while metaphors do not. For
instance, “as precious as gold” is a simile and “a heart of gold” Yes, Ma’am!
is a metaphor. Is it clear, Class?

E. Discussing new Alright, now we’ll move on to personification. Who wants to PERSONIFICATION – it is the attribution of personal nature
concepts and read the definition of personification? Yes, Lucius? intelligence or character to inanimate objects.
practicing new skills
#2 So, personification is a figure of speech in which an object,
abstract idea or animal is given human characteristics. For
example;
The snowflakes danced in the cold winter breeze.
It felt like the food kept calling me.
The kissed me when I was taking a picture.
Yes, Ma’am!
Do you understand, Class?

Alright, so who’d like to try and give their own example? Love is blind, Ma’am.
Yes, Dolores?

Very good. Anyone else want to give example? Yes, Severus? The waves kissed the shore.
Correct! Thank you, Severus. Who else wants to try? Yes, The sun lazily climbed up the sky.
Albus?

Alright! Did understand our lesson, Class? Yes, Ma’am!

Any questions or clarifications regarding our lesson, Class? None, Ma’am!

Blanket of Love
Group 1 kindly present your output.

Soft whispers of love, like a gentle, calming hum.

Much like God's love, endless and bright.

God's love, a fortress strong, unyielding and vast,


A blanket of grace, holding fast.
A haven in storms, a shield in the rain,
God’s love is a blanket, soothing every pain.

In silent nights, the blanket speaks of grace,


Cradling our hearts, a tender embrace.
With every fold, it whispers, "You are mine,"
God’s love, a living blanket, eternally divine.

Our dreams dance together in the night,
In love's embrace, everything feels right.

Very good, Brian? What about personification? Ma’am, personification is the representation of a thing or
abstraction as a person or by the human form.

On your own understanding Class, why is it important for us Ma’am, in my opinion, learning about simile, metaphor, and
to learn about figures of speech such as, simile, metaphor and personification is important because they enhance our language

Very good, Hedwig! Figures of speech enable us to infuse


creativity into our writing and enhance our comprehension.
They add flair to our compositions, helping us to convey our
thoughts, ideas, and emotions in an imaginative manner.
How do we use figures of speech in real life conversation? We use figures of speech in real-life conversations to make our

comparisons, giving human traits to non-human elements and
creating vivid imagery that helps convey emotions and ideas
more effectively, Ma’am.
Precisely! Figurative language allows us to carefully choose
our words when discussing sensitive topics with others.

For instance, we can use similes and metaphors to describe
