Symbolism- using images or items to represent abstract ideas
or concepts. The symbol carries a deeper meaning than the
item itself (for example: An American flag may symbolize
freedom and democracy; A dove may symbolize peace and
harmony).
Project Directions:
1. Create 4 squares on your paper.
2. For two of the squares, draw the following symbols:
eye
heart
Underneath the symbols, write a paragraph that analyzes and
explains the symbol’s connection to the story or characters.
Be sure to explain the deeper meaning of the symbol. For
example: The eye is a symbol for the old man’s eye is a very
literal connection. Dig deeper…what is the significance of
this eye to the narrator or reader?
3. For the other two squares, find two more symbols to
connect to the text. Underneath, explain the symbolism and
how the images/items connect to the text and characters.
4. Use colored pencils or markers to enhance your four
squares.
