This resource features the most fun your students will have with figurative language all year!

I created this Figurative Language Challenge activity and lesson plan several years ago for my middle school students as they were studying Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem of a man spiraling into madness, "The Raven." Little did I know that it would become the most requested game among my students of all time. This resource includes a meticulously-detailed lesson plan using warm-up, explanation, application, and synthesis, and a one-of-a-kind game that will get your students excited about identifying the copious amount of figurative language that pervades the poem. This is the perfect lesson plan for a Friday, on Halloween, or any time you need to amp up the energy in your classroom without sacrificing learning... and of course, it is Common Core aligned!

Product Includes:

• Full-length lesson plan
