The Simpsons: Season 20 Episode 6

Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words

Lisa discovers her amazing talent for doing crossword puzzles and becomes an expert cruciverbalist, and she soon enters a citywide crossword puzzle tournament. Homer, short on cash after abandoning his "Sweet Conclusions" professional break-up artist business, goes to cheer Lisa on at her tournament and discovers an underground crossword puzzle betting ring. In the ultimate betrayal, Homer profits from betting against Lisa in the championship match. When the heartbroken Lisa finds out, Homer must spell out his love for her with a little help from New York Times crossword puzzle editor Will Shortz and master crossword constructor Merl Reagle.

  1. Using 10 of the poetry terms you reviewed last lesson create a Crossword for a partner to use as a study aid.

    Make sure your clues are clever! Not necessarily cryptic but not easy either.

    FOR EXAMPLE

    A technique that makes a comparison between two things using the words LIKE or AS could maybe be replaced by giving a example of a SIMILE as the clue?
