A. PRELIMINARIES

Good morning, dear Grade 7! Good morning, ma’am!

How’s your holiday I hope you

spend your day wisely.

For your attendance, Ms. Brielle

kindly please check if there are
students who are absent today. Yes, ma’am, I will check the attendance.

Today is a great day because we

will be learning the best
ingredients in language that is
very useful in creating literary
pieces like poems, songs, or short
story.

But before that let us recall what

we learn during our last meeting.

because in the future you will
encounter these words.

B. MOTIVATION
Before we finally proceed again to
our discussion let us first have a

pictures)

Ma’am this one ma’am is piece of cake.

 Ma’am that would be butterflies in my
stomach.
Let’s proceed to the last picture.

C. DISCUSSION
Now let’s see what figures of
speech they belong to.

Do you have any idea about

figures of speech?

Good, you have a bright mind.

Ma’am, says here that simile is a figure
of speech in which a comparison is made

between unlike objects using words like

and as.
The first type of figure of speech is
Simile.

Kindly read the definition of

Yes ma’am.
Simile, Rica Mae.

Thank you, Rica Mae, therefore

Simile is a figure of speech that
shows a direct comparison using
words like and as.
Take note of the word like and as.
Okay?
Ma’am the lines that show simile in the

poem “First a Poem Must be
Magical”
Kindly identify the lines that show
simile in the poem.

First, a poem must be magical,

Then musical as a seagull.
It must be brightness moving
And hold secret a bird’s flowering.
It must be slender as a bell,
And it must hold fire as well.
It must have the wisdom of bows
And it must kneel like a rose.
It must be able to hear
The luminance of dove and deer.
It must be able to hide
What it seeks, like a bride.
And overall, I would like to hover

as and like so automatically that
would be a simile.

Next, we’ll go to Metaphor.

Kindly read Carl.

Thank you, Carl. That means that

if a simile uses the word as and
like in comparing metaphor does
not.

Let’s take a look at the following

examples. Nestor kindly read.

1. The recent typhoon was a

monster. (Typhoon was compared
to a monster because of its Ma’am an example of metaphor also is
destruction) “She has a heart of stone”.
2. She is a walking dictionary.
(She is compared to a dictionary
because she is intelligent every
time someone asks her about the
meaning of a word, she knows it.)

Can you give me also another

example Grade 7? Yes, Manuel!
Very Good! Because she is
compared to a stone without Ma’am personification is a figure of
using the word as and like speech giving human attributes to an

of stone that means she is a
person who doesn’t have
sympathy towards other people.

For the third type, we have

personification. Read the
definition Maridel.

Thank you! Maridel.

If we say human attributes that

means a characteristic feature or
quality of a person example
someone might be labeled as
beautiful charming funny and the
like.

Example: The cake is calling my

name.

The cake is not actually calling my

name but it attracted me to eat
the cake because it looks
delicious. An example of personification that I
know ma’am is “The tree invited us to
Here’s another example. play”.
The star winked at me.
The star doesn’t wink at us Ma’am invited would be the human

brightly.

Can you give another example of

personification Jarel?
Ma’am, says here that it is a figure of
Brilliant! Then what is the human speech that is more exaggerated and

Ynrick.

Exactly!

Moving on to the fourth figure of

speech, which is hyperbole. Now
read the definition Rosella.

Yes, hyperbole uses exaggerated Ma’am the second example is “I will die if
or what we call OA, unbelievable she asked me to dance”.
and it is not to be taken seriously.

Example: Yes ma’am.

1. Her smile is one kilometer wide.

This one is an example of

hyperbole because if you saw your
crush walking along the pathway,
you will definitely smile but not as Yes ma’am.
wide as one kilometer, right?

For the second example please None ma’am.

read Alvin.

So that’s it if we think in reality Ma’am an example of hyperbole is “She

that would never happen right? had cried a river when they broke up
with her sweetheart.”
Do you have any questions about
hyperbole?

Lea Rose, can you give me some

examples of hyperbole?

Thank you for the wonderful idea

which there is a contradiction of

irony.

Can you please read the definition

of Irony? Raymond. Ma’am, it says here “A carpenter does
not have his own house.”

True! In short, Irony is different

from what is truly meant, irony to
show sarcasm.
Here is the example please read
Chin-chin.
For example, ma’am “The police station

expectation of one’s job. It is Ma’am, it’s because the police officer’s

come that the police station gets robbed?
For the second example please
read, Choona. Ma’am a marriage counselor files for
divorce.
Why do you think that this one is

That’s right.
Who wants to give an example of Ma’am the example given was ironic

the example of Zerile is Irony?
Ma’am oxymoron is a figure of speech in
which contradictory terms appear in
conjunction.

Now lets us proceed to the last

common type of figure of speech
which is the Oxymoron. What do
we mean if we say Oxymoron
please read the definition,
Jhanera.
Ma’am the example is “My brother’s

here loud silence, painfully
beautiful, perfectly imperfect, and
living dead.

We have here an example in a

sentence. Kindly read Desiree.

In this example class, the two

contradicting words are amazing
and awful. The two words
contradict each other. It’s amazing
and at the same time awful. We
cannot exactly really understand
what was the exact idea in the
sentence because there is a Ma’am his girlfriend is pretty ugly.

words.

Another example is Grade 7. Does Ma’am pretty and ugly are words that

of an oxymoron?

What words contradict each

other?

Wow, almost all of you know

about oxymorons. Let us all
remember; an oxymoron
 contradicts the word itself.

Truly. We are done with the
