Wayground's interactive video collection provides guided video lessons that break down these complex concepts through real-world examples and embedded questions that test student comprehension in real-time. These resources develop critical analytical skills by teaching students to identify figurative language in professional texts while simultaneously building their capacity to craft their own creative expressions.
