2.) Literary Devices Used
a. Background of the writer
These sonnets are written by Francesco
Petrarch.

(The Students read aloud the background od

the author.)

He is Francesco Petrarch - born

Francesco Petrarca on July 20, 1304, in
Arezzo, Tuscany. He is the "Father of
Humanism," Petrarch's writing includes
well-known odes to Laura, his idealized
love. He died at age 69 on July 1374, in
Arquà, Carrara.

Each writer has their own unique style

in writing sonnets and these are
through.

Rhyme vs. Rhyme Scheme

(The teacher lets the student

differentiate rhyme from rhyme
scheme.)
 Rhyme - the correspondence of two or
What is Rhyme? more words with similar-sounding final
syllables

(Student pulls the arrow and read the meaning.)

Thank you! How about Rhyme Scheme?
Rhyme Scheme is the arrangement of
rhymes in a poem or stanza.

Good job!

“To find out the rhyme scheme listen to

the last sound of each word and assign
letters to the word that rhymes” (Students assign letters to the lines.)

(The teacher uses the first quartet as

example. And calls the students for the
next stanza.)

Allegory vs. Oxymoron

Now let us move on to Figures of speech,
let’s just focus on two types, which are
Allegory and Oxymoron.

(Pulls the arrow and let the student read ALLEGORY- is a piece of art or literature, like
the meaning.) a poem or story, in which people, things or
happenings have a hidden or symbolic
meaning.

Wonderful!

Example.
 The Lion, the Witch, and the
Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis is a
religious allegory with Aslan as
 Christ and Edmund as Judas.

 The Wizard of Oz - The lion

represents cowardice. The
scarecrow stands for the
agrarian past and the tin man
the technological future.

Please read the definition of OXYMORON - two words placed close

Oxymoron. together which are contradictory, yet have truth
in them.

Very Good! Here are some examples of

oxymoron.

 "The same difference."

 "A business that makes nothing but
money is a poor business." - Henry
Ford.

Class I’ll be giving you 5 minutes to

look for allegory and oxymoron used in
the 2 poems. Write it on the colored
paper I’m going to give you.

G. Generalization
What are the literary devices used in the 2 Ma’am the literary devices used are Rhyme,
poems? Rhyme Scheme, Allegory and Oxymoron.

Marvelous answer! Rhyme is a repetition of similar sounding

Very good! What is Rhyme? words occurring at the end of lines in poems or
songs.

How about Rhyme Scheme? Rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhyme that
comes at the end of each verse or line in poetry

Great!
 Allegory is a piece of art or literature, like a
What is allegory? poem or story, in which people, things or
happenings have a hidden or symbolic
meaning.

Good Job!
Oxymoron - two words placed close together
What is Oxymoron? which are contradictory, yet have truth in them.

Well Done!

H. Application
Class I’ll be giving you 5 minutes to
do this task. .

Direction: Go through the poem

“The White Doe” again. This time
focus on the structure of the poem.
And write the rhyme scheme of the
poem on the space provided.

The White Doe

Translated by Anna Maria Armi

A pure-white doe in an emerald

glade
Appeared to me, with two
antlers of gold,
Between two streams, under a
laurel’s shade,
At sunrise, in the season’s bitter
cold.

Her sight was so suavely

merciless
That I left work to follow her at
leisure,
Like the miser who looking for
 his treasure
Sweetens with that delight his
bitterness.

Around her lovely neck “Do not

touch me”
Was written with topaz and
diamond stone,
“My Caesar’s will has been to
make me free.”

Already toward noon had

climbed the sun,
My weary eyes were not sated
to see,
When I fell in the stream and
she was gone.

Five minute is finished. Let’s have your

answers.
