C. Lesson Proper
Discussion
So, our lesson for today is all about

figures of speech.
Figure of Speech - is a literary device

used to create a special effect or feeling
by making some type of interesting or
creative comparison.
Types of figures of speech
Simile - is a comparison of two unlike things

using the words “like” or “as”
Example:
Similes using ‘as’
 As busy as a bee
 As fast as a cheetah
 As cold as ice
Similes using ‘like’

 Jumps like a frog
 eats like a pig
 slept like a baby
Metaphor - is a figure of speech that is used to

make a comparison, but in a way different
from a simile. It makes the comparison as if it
was literally true. In other words, it can be said
that a metaphor is an implied comparison.
Example:
 My mom has a heart of gold.
 My friend’s sister, Sharon, is a night
owl.
 My hands were icicles because of the
cold weather.
 You just have to consider the world a
stage and act accordingly.
 Yuna has a stone heart.
Personification - is a literary device in which

an animal, an object, or an idea is spoken of or
is described as if it were a person.
Example:
 The sun kissed me while I was clicking
a picture.
 The flowers danced to the wind.
 I felt like the food kept calling me.
Hyperbole - is an exaggeration or an
overstatement.
Example:
1. I’m so hungry I could eat a horse.
2. I’m dying of laughter.
Litotes – pronounced lie-tuh-teez) takes place

when double negatives are used for emphasis.
Example:
1. Her cooking isn’t terrible, exactly.
(i.e., it’s actually great.)
2. He’s not unlike his brother.
(i.e., He’s similar.)
Onomatopoeia - is a figure of speech that uses

words to describe the sounds made by all
living things including people, animals, and all
inanimate objects.
Example:
1. The dog barked all night.
2. The mouse went squeak as it ran
across the room.
3. Suddenly, there was a loud thud at
the door.
Irony – is a figure of speech in which words

are used to express something that is different
from the actual meaning or, at times, is the
exact opposite of its intended meaning.
Example:
Let’s say I run into you at the grocery
store and tell you, “This is the third
time we’ve bumped into each other
today. Isn’t that ironic?”
Actually, no.
That’s just a coincidence.
But it’s easy to misuse a word when

there’s a lot of confusion surrounding
it. So that brings me to my next point.
Types of Irony
1. Verbal irony – is when a character or

person says one thing but means the complete
opposite. Ironic statements are used to convey
meaning that is exactly the opposite of the
literal meaning.
Example:
 "The cake is as soft as concrete"
 "Water is as clear as mud"
Situational irony- is when the complete

opposite of what is expected occurs. The
audience (readers, listeners, or viewers) are
certain about the ending, but the opposite
situation happens.
Example:
1. My wife is a flight attendant but she’s
terrified of heights. How ironic!”
2. a fire station burning down
3. a pilot has a fear of heights
4. The police station gets robbed.
5. A marriage counselor files for divorce.
Dramatic irony - is when character believes

something, and the opposite is true. The
audience knows that the character is working
under false beliefs.
Example:
Watching television.
Any question class? Clarifications? No, ma’am.

D. Generalization
Okay, so give the different types of (The students raise their hands.)
figures of speech?
Yes, student 2. Student 2: the 5 types of figures of speech
are hyperbole, litotes, irony, metaphor and
simile.
Very good! It seems like you really
understand our lesson.
