Great job! That is right!
(Shows meaning of figurative language
and let’s students read.)
ACTIVITY 3: FIGURE OUT
LANGUAGE
As you can see, the poem uses a lot of
figurative language. Still, with your
groupings, take down all the figurative
language that you see on the poem and
write its meaning or what you think it
symbolizes. Put them on a 1 whole sheet
of paper.
I will only give you 10 minutes to work
on this and after, you will share your
answers to the class.
(After 10 minutes.)
Let’s share the figurative language we
have found on the poem. Each group will
state one figurative language after
another, be sure to listen because no
group shall repeat what has been said by
the others.

No ma’am.
Do you have any questions?

D. Discussion of the Story Now that we are fully aware of the hidden (The students read the story aloud.)
meanings of the lines used in the
sentences. Let us try to dig deeper into the LAURA
meaning of the poem. But first, let’s read Translated by Morris Bishop
the poem one more time.
She used to let her golden hair fly free
For the wind to toy and tangle and molest;
Her eyes were brighter that the radiant west.
(Seldom they shine so now.) I used to see
Pity look on those deep eyes on me.
(“It was false pity”, you would now protest)
I had love’s tinder heaped within my breast;
What wonder that the flame burned furiously?
She did not walk in any mortal way,
But with angelic progress; when she spoke,
Unearthly voices sang in unison.
She seemed divine among the dreary folk
Of earth. You say she is not so today?
Well, though the bow’s unbent, the wound
bleeds on.
Great job in reading!
Activity 4. Dig deeper to know.
This time, choose a partner. As a pair pick
out again a colored paper inside the box,
and exchange ideas with your partner.
After 3 minutes, briefly share your
answers to the class.
The questions in the papers will be:
Red: Who do you think is Laura?
Yellow: How does Laura seem to have
changed?
Green: Why did Laura change?
Pink: In Laura’s past and present, what
are the common details the author
remembers about Laura?
Blue: What is the tone of the poem?
Orange: What is the effect of the poem to
the readers?
Purple: Why does Laura look at the author
with pity with her deep eyes?
