short skit or a visual art piece, using language that effectively conveys the
intended meaning.
Code:

Subject:
Literature and Language Arts

(1) Review:
Begin the lesson by asking students to recall previous literary devices they have
learned.
Engage them in a brief discussion about what figurative language is and its
importance in literature.
Present a few examples of figurative language and ask students to identify them.
(2) Motivation:
Show a short video clip or a series of images that illustrate various similes and
metaphors in action (e.g., "He’s as brave as a lion" with a lion roaring).
Ask students to express how these comparisons enhance their understanding of the
message being conveyed.
Pose the question: "How can comparing two different things help us understand
emotions or actions better?"
(3) Activity:
Workshop: "Figure of Speech Gallery"

Instructions:

Group Formation: Divide the class into small groups of 4-5 students.
Research Phase: Each group will be assigned to find 3 examples of similes and 3
examples of metaphors from their favorite books, poems, or songs. They will write
these examples on chart paper.
Art Creation:
Groups will then choose one simile and one metaphor from their findings to create a
visual representation (drawing, collage, or digital art).
Alternatively, they can choose to create a short skit that illustrates the meaning
behind their selected simile and metaphor.
Presentation: Each group will present their artwork or perform their skit to the
class, explaining the meaning of the simile and metaphor they chose.
(4) Analysis:
After the presentations, hold a class discussion on how each group’s examples
helped convey deeper meanings in their chosen texts.
Encourage students to ask questions and provide feedback on each presentation.
(5) Abstraction:
Summarize the key points discussed during the presentations by highlighting the
definitions of similes and metaphors.
Discuss how these figures of speech can be used to create imagery and evoke
emotions in writing.
(6) Application:
Real-Life Problem:
Ask students to think of a situation in their daily lives where they could use a
simile or metaphor to describe an experience (e.g., "My homework was a mountain I
had to climb").
Have them write a short paragraph using at least one simile and one metaphor to
describe their experience.
