Specific theme options within each category are listed, such as "Road Trip" for a metaphor theme. Guidelines are given for developing spin off expressions related to the chosen theme. Students are then assigned to create a PowerPoint detailing their selected theme, including graphics, spin offs, and an opening and closing.
