Digging Deep into the Meaning of Symbols and Repeated Ideas




Digging Deep into the Meaning of Symbols and Repeated Ideas



         Last week as we prepared for our Wonder projects, we spent some time thinking about symbols and repeated ideas in literature. What do they mean? Why are they important in the story?

          We read a crucial point in the story and listened for when these ideas came back up and what we thought they meant. Here are some of the students ideas.





The students then discussed what they thought was the larger meaning of these ideas might be.


Below are the students summaries of some of the meanings of repeated ideas and images!
