Listen attentively. Understand what is being read. Do not talk with your seatmates.

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:

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?

Lambs, dawn, clues, butterflies, beasts and giants. We compare two things. We compare two different things. Figures of Speech.

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?

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?

The night was creeping on the ground! She crept and did not make a sound.
