Instructional Ideas
- Have kids come up with a list of questions for each category as a homework assignment before you do the activity in class, or provide them with your own questions
- Use dice instead of a box, and assign the literary devices to the numbers on each side
- Encourage learners to write about at least one of the questions that they answered in the activity as an extended assignment
Classroom Considerations
- Assessment strategy is weak; use the activity as study exercises before a literary assessment
Pros

- Exciting and collaborative
Cons
- None
