(Hi all! I'm having trouble with my voice. I am seeing a specialist on Friday - in the meanwhile, I am to rest it a little bit - so teaching is a challenge. Please be patient as we figure it out.)
1) Library - get out THE BRICK, our text, Discovering Literature.
2) Review Symbol/Symbolism - Something that represents something else. A symbol uses an object or action or image that means something more than its literal meaning. For example, an eagle can be a symbol for freedom, independence, etc.
3) Read Steinbeck's "The Chrysanthemums." p. 229?
4) Discussion Questions - What are the connotations of the word flower (review connotation - make a cluster around the word flower on the board). How are the Chrysanthemums the central symbol? How does the symbol evolve?
5) Assignment - questions # 1-8
