    Broken down into the cognitive steps, students can determine what symbols mean in the text. This video shows the strategy for introducing the concept (even though kids in 8th grade were exposed WHAT symbols are in prior years, I never assume they were taught HOW to figure it out).

    Hello, I'm a middle school teacher in Seattle. I enjoy these types of videos from you, this and the Theme video. I would very much enjoy seeing more like these.

    4 years into teaching is too long to have gone without encountering your work. This is incredible stuff!!!

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful and beneficial videos! This is my first year teaching middle schoolers, after 15 years with elementary and intermediate kiddos. These will be excellent strategies for my mini-lessons with the workshop approach!

    Love this approach to symbolism. Have you thought about creating a student video to help learn this technique?

      What I really liked about your pedagogy, and what resonated with me, is not telling your students what the theme is/symbols are , as if they can't get something else I didn't see. I don't like telling my students what the elements are; I like to let them discover it as long as they can "prove" it with textual evidence. It's more fun, and student centered.

    Hi. I'm a 60-year-old kid whose mind got messed up by learning a little about symbolism. I know you're talking about it in the literary sense because that's your job. I see symbols in life outside of books. Perhaps mine is a case of seeing "storytelling" outside of the world of literature. A thought has occurred to my mind, and has turned out to be quite persistent. I think money is symbolic. As powerful as money is, it depends entirely on its context and on the social agreement to use money as a symbol of the work we invest, then trade for other things we need. Maybe that's too philosophical, and I could start a bit more down to earth. The flag of the U.S. is quite definitely a symbol, and is a symbol or emblem for which soldiers will fight, risk their lives, and die.
    This is probably not part of your work as an educator, but I came to ask you to share some thoughts--if you have them and want to tell--about symbolism in everyday life.
