Discussing the 8 figures of speech
Good morning Grade 6 learners
WOW, what a ride it has been so far…. Your Mom/Dad playing teacher-teacher, doing schoolwork in your pyjamas, having break time and eating your sandwiches whenever you like, playing with a toilet roll like its gold etc.
We should remember that this is a special time- spending time with family and creating new and exciting memories. I hope you are adhering to the rules by staying safe and looking after yourself!
Attached are all answers for the questions you received during 20-24 April 2020.
Please mark your work and assess yourself fairly. Remember making a correction mark while it’s the incorrect answer doesn’t help you at all!
We are continuing with term 2 work and it might include some new things that you haven’t heard before. Please make notes if you are unsure about anything. We will discuss it in class.
Ps: I know the powerpoints were exciting and colourful and I really enjoyed those lessons, but it was a mission to print it. I tried another alternative way. Hope this helps and that its still interesting! I have attached some colour and creative things! Hope you enjoy it!

Lesson content:
I have attached the week’s work. You can divide the work according to your own planning (2 pages per day). If you want to focus on English for one entire day-you are more than welcome. This week we will focus on figures of speech. What is a figure of speech??? A figure of speech is a deviation from the ordinary use of words in order to increase their effectiveness. HUH??? Let’s take a step back…. Have you ever wondered why poets, journalists or writers say something in a different way than normal??? Example: “He is a lion.” What does it mean?? Exactly! He is comparing the person’s strength with the strength of a lion. Instead of saying “He is as strong as a lion.” He compared the two without using so many words. There are a lot of figures of speech, but we are only going to focus on a few. You would have seen a few of these words on page 13 of your yellow books. I have included the pronunciation in brackets. You can google the words and ask for the pronunciation if you want to.
- Simile (si-mi-lie)
- Metaphor (met-i-fur)
- Personification (per-son-i-fi-kay-shin)
- Onomatopoeia (on-no-mat-oe-pia)
- Hyperbole (hy-per-bu-lie)
- Alliteration (al-li-te-ray-shin)
- Assonance (ass-o-nins)
- Idioms (i-di-hims)
We will discuss each of these terms in detail during this week.
