This learning package aims to teach English III high school students about literary devices. It will have students identify different devices through a word bingo game. They will then discuss various figures of speech like similes, metaphors, and personification. To deepen understanding, students will play a sentence strip game matching examples to the correct figures of speech. The lesson emphasizes that figures of speech make writing more colorful, imaginative, and interesting to read. As an assignment, students must write a poem using different figures of speech.

C. DEEPEN
Activity:
Sentence Strip Game
The class will be divided into six teams and will be given
envelope and a flaglet.
There are series of sentences using various figures of
speech, and a series of cards with the names of the
figures of speech, such as metaphor and simile in an
envelope. Using a timer, have the students will match the
sentence strips with the correct cards with the names of
the figures of speech. The team that matches all of the
sentences to the correct cards in the shortest time and will
place their flaglet on the teacher’s table wins.
What is the importance of using figures of speech? Why do we
need to use them?
* We use figures of speech in "figurative language" to add color
and interest, and to awaken the imagination. Figurative language
is everywhere, from classical works like Shakespeare or the Bible,
to everyday speech, pop music and television commercials. It
makes the reader or listener use their imagination and
understand much more than the plain words.
*Authors use figure of speech to enhance their writing piece.
They also use figure of speech to make their piece interesting and
descriptive.
ASSIGNMENT:
Create a 4-stanza poem using the different figures of speech
focusing on the Vocation celebration. Write in on a whole sheet of
pad paper.
