This lesson uses images and the "I See...and I Wonder" strategy to get students thinking about the bigger concepts that objects might represent. Students often see symbols as mere objects with only a face value because of the speed with which they encounter them. However, if we can encourage students to take more time to study an object, other concepts or meanings can come to light.This lesson uses images as an entry point to symbolism because they are less threatening than literature. The images provided are a starting place, but feel free to remix and use your own images.
