B. Motivation
The teacher will introduce a game entitled “Dora, the Decoder”. In this activity, the
teacher will show a figurative sentence and they will have to figure out the real behind it. For
every question, two representatives will be called in front to play the game. The first student to
ring the bell and give a correct answer will be the winner.
The sentences to be used in the game are the following:
Lend me your ears.
Our quiz is a piece of cake.
I feel blue.
I’m over the moon!
Break a leg!
Questions:
How did you find the activity?
Which is easier to understand, the given sentences or the answers? Why?
Which one do you like more… saying things as it is or using other ways to say
it? Why?
The teacher will bridge the motivation to the lesson proper by saying “We have always
used language to convey what we want to say. However, this activity shows us that we can use
language not just directly, but also differently to make it more appealing and interesting. Do you
have an idea what we call it when we use language directly and indirectly? That’s right! They
are called literal and figurative language. Today, we shall focus on the difference between the
two!”
C. Lesson Development
Generalization:
The teacher will ask the students to define literal and figurative language based on the
example shown. Afterwards, she will use the sentences from the previous activity to further
deepen the discussion.
Illustrative Examples:
• "Her eyes sparkled like diamonds." (Literal meaning: Her eyes were shiny.)
• "He ran as fast as the wind." (Literal meaning: He ran very quickly.)
• "Love is a battlefield." (Literal meaning: Love is challenging and requires effort.)
• "Time is money." (Literal meaning: Time is not literally money, but it is valuable and
should not be wasted.)
• "I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse." (Literal meaning: The speaker is very hungry.)
• "It's raining cats and dogs." (Literal meaning: Cats and dogs are not actually falling from
the sky, but it is raining very hard.)
• "He spilled the beans." (Literal meaning: He did not actually spill beans, but he revealed
a secret.)
Restatement of Generalization:
