# 50311 - Riddles in a Language Arts Classroom
What you'll find in our riddles is a mix of:
- Word games. Puns, double meanings and clever uses of homonyms to mislead the reader.
- Metaphors. We often describe something obliquely so that the description is accurate, yet unexpected.
- Multiple definitions. We'll often take a single word and write a poem where each line or pair of lines is keyed to a different definition of the word.
All of these work well for stretching students' vocabulary, problem solving and lateral thinking.
This book contains thirty different classroom exercises, each focusing on poetic terms and concepts. Worksheets guide
the students to both answer the riddle and appreciate the methods involved.
