4. Motivation: Have you looked up the sky this morning, class? What did you see? I will show you a picture. What can you see in the picture? What can you say about the picture? How would you describe a cloud? I have here a poem entitled, “Clouds”.
5. Motive Question:

B. Developmental Activities: 1. Presentation:
One of your classmate will read the poem for us. While your classmate is reading the poem, what will you do?
“ CLOUDS”
Clouds all like silver lambs On low green hills, Feeding on blue meadows Watered by rills. Clouds are like snowy dawn Playing with winds; Clouds are small, willful clues With playful minds.
Clouds are huge butterflies Radiant with rays; Clouds are beasts of the wilds On stormy days. Clouds are the sky giants Their tears are rain Dropping on leafy plants Down the plain. C. Comprehension Check up:
Listen attentively.
Understand what is being read.
Do not talk with your seatmates.

In the first two lines of the poem, what are clouds being compared to? Have you seen a lamb, class? How does it look like? What characteristics of a clouds make them silver lambs? Give the similarities of the clouds and the lamb. Very good. Clouds are being compared to a silver lamb because of its white color. To what are clouds being th compared to in the 9 line of the poem? Why is cloud being compared to a huge butterfly? What common characteristics of a cloud is also present to a butterfly?
2. Discussion: What are the unlike things compared to clouds in the poem?
What did we do just a while ago? Very good. What did we compare? What do you call to the comparison made between two unlike things? Ok. What is again a figure of speech?
To a silver lamb.
Yes, ma’am.
It’s fur or skin covering is white in
color.
Their colors are both white.
To a huge butterfly.
They are both colorful and give life and beauty to our dull nature.
Lambs, dawn, clues, butterflies, beasts and giants.
We compare two things. We compare two different things.
Figures of Speech.
The comparison between two unlike things.
Alright. A figure of speech is a group of words that expresses a comparison between two unlike objects. There are different types of figurative language. Study the following lines taken from the poem.
1. Clouds are like silver lambs. 2. Clouds are like snowy dawn. 3. Clouds are huge butterflies. 4. Clouds are beasts of the wilds. 5. The cloud is feeding on the meadow. 6. The cloud is playing with the winds.
Examine lines 1 and 2. Clouds are being compared to what? Are they unlike/ different things? What word is used to compare the two things? What other words are used in making a comparison? What do you now call to the comparison made in these lines? What is a simile? Very good. Simile is a figure of speech that expresses a comparison between two unlike objects having similar characteristics with the use of “ like “ or “ as “. Who can give me a sentence using simile? Examine lines 3 and 4. Did it use the words like and as in making a comparison? Why do you think so?
Lamb and a dawn. Yes, ma’am. The word like.
The word as.
Simile
It is the comparison of two unlike things with the use of like and as.
She sings sweetly like a bird. Her skin is as smooth as silk.
No, ma’am.
Because it is a direct comparison of two
unlike things.
What do you call to the figures of speech used in these lines? What is a metaphor? Very good. Metaphor is a figure of speech that expresses a comparison between two unlike objects having similar characteristics without the use of “ like “ or “ as “. Anyone who can give me sentences using metaphor? Examine lines 5 and 6. Does the cloud has the capacity of feeding and playing? Why not? Who do you think is the only one who can do these things? What type of figures of speech is used in these lines? What is a personification? Very good. Personification is a figure of speech that gives human characteristics to nonhuman things like animal, objects, and ideas. Give me now sentences using personification.

The sun is an orange dinghy sailing across a calm sea. It is a gold coin dropped down a drain in heaven. The moon, like a flower In heaven’s high bower With silent delight Sits and smiles in the night. Clouds are angry monsters With a water hose. They can make me cold and wet They can plug my nose.
