Description

Engaging digital resource to review literary devices and figurative language at the middle and high school level — with a code-breaking twist! Plus, it grades itself!

Do you want to review English Language Arts concepts in a creative, engaging way? Do you want to infuse fun and novelty into the classroom while working on test prep? Do you need a simple sub plan? Have you been dreaming of the day when student work would magically grade itself? This activity was made for YOU!

Students will read 16 sentences and match them with the type of literacy device exemplified (a word bank is included). With each correct answer, a piece of the decoder image will appear. Finally, they will use the decoder to uncover a secret code and answer a riddle! Students will be motivated to solve the puzzle while learning along the way! Our Figurative Language Digital Decoder is gamification at its finest.

This creative and low-prep resource includes...

  • Teacher instructions
  • Word bank
  • Self-checking questions
  • Self-checking secret code activity
  • Answer key
  • ...and tons of fun for your students!

This lesson serves as a fantastic test prep activity, and it can also be used as an easy sub plan! This activity is a great addition to your English Language Arts class.
