Methodology: Lecture Method F. Value Integration: Learning Procedure A. Preparatory Activity 1. Review Class, I am going to distribute number cards for each of you. Remember the number that will be given to you because that will be your number. I will draw a number from this bowl and whoever gets the number I have drawn will answer the question I will give. Do you understand? (The teacher will draw a number and then give the question) what is an assumption?
Very good! How about prediction? That’s correct! 2. Motivation Class let’s play message relay with a twist. You will be grouped into four. I will give the message
Yes ma’am. Assumption is an idea that suggested a possible explanation for a particular situation or condition, but which has not yet been proved to be correct or true. Prediction is a statement made about the future, foreseeing the future results or happening.
to the first student and you will arrange the scrambled words to form the message that I gave. Then you will post it on the board. The first group to arrange the sentence wins.

This afternoon we are going learn more about the three figures of speech that contrast. Pay attention and listen as we discuss about paradox, irony and oxymoron. 2.

C. Post Activity 1. Generalization Class, what is paradox again? Very good! How about oxymoron? That’s correct! What are three types of Irony? Very good! 2. Application Class, let’s have another group game. This is called sentence strip. Each group will be given strips of sentences. Then you are going to classify whether they are oxymoron, paradox or Irony. You need to match the sentence to the correct figure of speech. You need to post it on the board. The group to finish first and with most number of correct wins. So do have questions? Alright then let’s start..
concepts/ideas that contradictory to one another, yet when placed together they hold significant value on several levels.
Paradox is a figure of speech that expresses ideas that are contradictory to one another. Oxymoron combines two opposing or contradicting ideas. The three type of Irony are Verbal, Situational and dramatic.
