Abby Gross | English Teacher on Instagram: "SAVE ⬇️ this lesson idea if your students have ever struggled with symbolism in literature! Help your students FINALLY understand symbolism with this fun challenge. Here’s how it works. 💜

I did this with our Before the Ever After Unit/leading into novel in verse book clubs, and it went so well.

For a link to a new-and-improved version of this activity—complete with 4 challenges and an editable slideshow you can tailor to any text—comment “symbolism challenge.”

If you own my novel in verse bundle, I just added this resource to it. If you don’t own it, you can check out the whole collection by commenting “teach NIV.”

Let me know if you try this lesson in your classroom! 💜
