Description
Teaching symbolism can be tricky, but symbolism activities like this one HOOK your students and help them engage with any text. This is a sweet introduction to symbolism that your students will remember long after the candy is gone.
⭐️ I use this with “Masque of the Red Death” by Edgar Allan Poe, but it is not text-specific. You can use it with any short story or novel or as a stand-alone lesson.
Your resource for teaching symbolism includes:
- An anticipatory set using Tootsie Roll Pops (or Blow Pops) as a symbolism activity
- Symbolism & Allegory PPT (editable)
- Symbolism lesson plan & student sample
- Guided notes and student practice (Interactive Notebooks)
- Traditional worksheet version
- Digital version optimized for landscape
- Plain-text version for screen readers
