Original Promptteam based mystery game about figurative language (simile, metaphor, personification) for special Ed middle school students
This Teacher Preparation Guide provides a structured approach for educators to engage students in learning about figurative language, specifically similes, metaphors, and personification, through an interactive mystery-themed activity. The guide includes necessary materials to print, details for team logistics, and sets up a digital platform for students to access mystery slides. The core component of the lesson is a creative mission where students take on roles as elite agents tasked with solving a mystery related to a viral video game that's been corrupted. They will analyze examples of figurative language to unlock clues and complete challenges that reinforce their understanding of these concepts. With tasks such as categorizing figurative language and writing their own examples, students will work collaboratively and critically, ultimately seeking to 'save' the game by mastering these literary devices.
