How does it work?
Your students are stuck in your classroom on Valentine's Day and cannot leave until they solve 5 challenging Language Arts skills-based tasks about the holiday of love!
- In the first task, students will read 8 fun facts about Valentine's Day and must identify the incorrectly used homophone in each passage. They must write the correct homophone in their student answer booklet. Shaded boxes within the answers reveal their first code.
- In the second task, students will read 8 quotes about love from famous figures and must identify the parts of speech of underlined words within the quotes. When matched correctly, shaded boxes will reveal the second code.
- In the third task, students will perform a close reading of Shakespeare's famous Sonnet 18, Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day. Then, they will answer multiple choice questions about the poem. Letters of the correct answers will reveal their third code.
- In the fourth task, students must identify the figurative language devices used in popular love songs. Shaded boxes in the correct answers form the fourth code.
- In the final task, students will be quizzed on what they learned throughout the first four tasks and enter their answers to Valentine's Day trivia questions in a fun crossword puzzle. Circled boxes within the puzzle will reveal their final code.
