Vocab! & Symbolism

After our vocab test today, we reviewed the symbolism assignment. Remember these things!
  1. Your brainstorm should include associations from your background knowledge AND from the story.
  2. When assembling these ideas for your paragraph, organize them into the categories I have required in the assignment: I. Identify and describe a symbol in "1937" (1 sentence); II. Describe what this symbol stands for (1 - 2 sentences); III. Explain how this symbol helps you understand the meaning of the story, based on where the symbol appears in the story (2 - 4 sentences).
  3. Write a paragraph of about 5 - 8 sentences, that includes all of the information above.
Vocab word: ubiquitous - adj. Taxi cabs are ubiquitous in Manhattan. The streets are like a river of yellow.
