the figurative language used in the poem. The teacher will explain the difference between literal and figurative language.

B. Presentation Literal language is language that means exactly what is said. Taking this sample sentence, Ive eaten so much I feel as if I could literally burst! What can we notice from the sentence? Is the We have noticed Miss that the speaker speaker narrating in exact language or was explains in straightforward language. There was no creative description in explaining there a use of creative description? his/her experience. Whenever you describe something by comparing it with something else, you are using figurative language. Figurative language creates figures (pictures) in the mind of the reader or listener. These pictures help convey the meaning faster and more vividly than words alone. Today we will be discussing elements of poetry. Poetry is a form of writing that uses not only words but also recited in lines or verses. Poetry is an imaginative awareness of experience expressed through meaning, sound, and rhythmic language choices so as to evoke an emotional response. On our previous discussions, we have tackled on elements of other literary forms such as short stories and drama. Now we would be directing our attention to elements of poetry. Rhythm is the pattern of beats or stresses in a She was a child and I was a child, In this kingdom by the sea; poem. Please read the lines class. But we loved with a love that was more than love I and my Annabel Lee; What are the words or lines emphasized by Miss the words are child, king, by, sea, love, more, I and the name of the girl. the writer?

Okay very good. We can note that these words were given emphasis by the writer thats why the stress and repeated mentioning of the ideas were present in the lines.

Rhyme is the repetition of the same or similar sounds, usually in stressed syllables at the ends Hickory, dickory dock, the mouse went up the of lines, but sometimes within a line. Kindly clock. read the lines class. Miss the words that rhyme were dock and What were the words that have similar clock. sounds? Correct! The two words were done and sun which are found in the last part of every line. Rhymes can also be found not only on the end but also on the beginning and the middle part of lines/stanzas. Mary had a little lamb, A Rhyme scheme The rhyming pattern that is created at the end of lines of poetry. Please Its fleece as white as snow. B read the lines class. And everywhere that Mary went, C We can see class that this stanza has a pattern of lines. This can be shown in the second and fourth lines. The words snow and go are the rhyming words. The pattern is A-BC-B. The lamb was sure to go. B

Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginnings of words. Read the Seven silver swans swam silently seaward. line class. What was the letter or consonant being The letter or consonant: S miss. emphasized by the writer?

Okay thank you for your answer. We can perceive that the consonant S was being used by the writer by writing similar ideas related to the letter itself.

Onomatopoeia are words that are used to represent particular sounds. Example is The firecracker made a loud ka-boom! It mimics the sounds of real life forms or movements of objects. Repetition refers to the repeating of a Oh quick, quick, quick quick hear the song particular sound devise to create an effect. To sparrow. Swamp sparrow, fox sparrow. Follow create emphasis, a poet may repeat words or the dance. lines within the poem. Please read the lines class. What were the repeated words or lines Miss these were the words quick and sparrow. class?

Imagery is when poets use words that appeal Back, he spurred like a madman, shouting to the readers senses of sight, sound, touch, curses to the sky. taste, and smell. Please read the following lines class.

What pictures can you form in this lines? We can imagine miss that he was crazy and Does it narrate a story? like a madman shouting and talking to the sky. He is saying curses and complaints on nature. Thank you for your answers class.

Tone/Mood is the feelings the authors word The woods are lovely, dark and deep. choices give the poem. Kindly read the poem class.

We can connote that the writer was amazed by the beauty of the woods. The words used to describe the woods are based on the perception of the writer.

Theme is the central or main idea of the poem. To identify a poems theme, ask yourself what ideas or insights about life or human nature you have found in the poem.

Figures of Speech transcend literal Miss the figures of speech are simile, interpretations to figurative understandings. metaphor, hyperbole and personification. This is another form of imagery because they create pictures by making comparisons. Let us have a recall, what the figures of speech? As what you have discussed in level 7 class?

Okay very good. We will also be discussing today the figures of speech and their examples in poems.

Simile is the comparison between two unlike things, such as persons or things usually with The muscles on his brawny arms are strong as iron bars. the words like or as. Read the line class. What were two things compared? Did the The two ideas compared were the muscles of the man and iron bars. This means that the writer use like or as? man is very strong. Thank you for your idea. Next, Metaphor is implied comparison between two relatively The road was a ribbon wrapped through the unlike things using a form of be. The dessert. comparison is not announced by like or as. Kindly read the line class. The two things were directly compared such as the road and the ribbon. There is no need to use as or like because the line already compared two things as if it were the other.

Personification is the transfer of human The wind yells while blowing. characteristics to inanimate objects or ideas. Kindly read the lines class.

How is personification used in this line? Was The wind cannot yell. Only living things can yell. there an action designated to the wind?

Good observation. We can see that the wind was portraying a human action which is yelling. In reality, this cannot be true, but it adds effect to the poem.

Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement used Shes said so on several million occasions. to heighten effect. It is not used to mislead the reader, but to emphasize a point. Read the line class.

How is this line exaggerated? Can you see Miss we can see that there is an exaggeration redundancy on this line? on the use of descriptive words. Several means many times but it was heightened by the word millions. Meaning that the girl has refused a lot of times.

Very good! Hyperbole is also an exaggeration of the situation given in the poem. This is done to emphasis the point or mood of the writer.

Lastly, Oxymoron uses two contradicting Bitter sweet, living death or dead and a ideas which creates an image in the readers deafening silence. minds. Kindly read the examples class.

Okay, we can notice that each example presents two unlikely ideas. These things are used to present confusion or two ideas in the poem. That ends our lesson on the elements of poetry.

What are the figures of speech and what are their features/characteristics? The figures of speech are simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification and oxymoron. D. Application and Evaluation Now that you had discovered the elements of poetry, lets answer a short exercise. Applying what you have learned in figures of speech, I will be posting a five item seatwork. Please get a sheet crosswise. Direction: Which figures of speech are used to describe the following?
