EPIC WIN!

But what if…!!

- I don’t have laptops!- I can’t install MMOs!- I can’t use 3DGameLab!

!Is there anything for me?

Metaphors and Similes!!

Metaphor: making connections between two unlike things!Similes: comparing two unlike things with like or as!

!Example:!

!Pete is a tree, tall and strong. !

Pete is like a flower. He wilts when evening approaches.

Twitter!!

#mmopete!!

Introduce yourself: make up a character name, !a race, and a special power!

!Follow the story and add to the narrative! Use metaphors and similes. FAVORITE the tweets that use these forms of

imagery.
