Teme, simboli i motivi oživljavaju kada koristite storyboard. U ovoj aktivnosti učenici će prepoznati objekte koji su važni simboli za likove ili veće ideje i podržati njihove izbore s pojedinostima iz teksta.
Primjer u nastavku koristi mit o otmici Persephone, no mnogi grčki mitovi koji pokušavaju nešto objasniti imaju važne simbole.
Pomegranat je simbol života i obilje, ali i smrti. Mnogo sjemenki pokazuje sposobnost novog života i novog rasta. Međutim, šipak čini se da krvari ako je izrezana, i to je jedna stvar koja povezuje Persephone sa svijetom mrtvih.
Zima predstavlja vrijeme kad Persephone provede u podzemlju. Živi svijet izgleda suspendiran jer biljke "umiru", vrijeme postaje oštro, a dani su kraći i tamniji.
Proljeće je Persephoneovo vrijeme. Vraća se iz Podzemnog svijeta i ponovno se sjedi sa svojom majkom. Dani postaju duži i topliji, biljke oživljavaju, a životinje postaju aktivne.

Upute za studente
Napravite storyboard s prikazom važnih simbola u priči o Persefoni.
Start by selecting key symbols from the Persephone myth, like the pomegranate and changing seasons. Ask open-ended questions to prompt students to think about what each symbol might represent. Encourage participation by inviting students to share personal interpretations and connect symbols to modern life.
Invite your class to identify other objects or motifs in the story that could be symbolic, such as flowers, darkness, or light. List ideas on the board and discuss why these might have meaning in the context of the myth.
Divide students into small groups and assign each group a different symbol from the myth. Have them research its meaning using books or reliable online sources, then prepare a short presentation with visuals or drawings.
Ask students to choose a symbol from the Persephone myth and create their own story, poem, or artwork showing how that symbol could appear in their own life or culture. Share and discuss these creations with the class to deepen understanding.
The main symbols in the myth of Persephone are the pomegranate, which represents both life and death, winter symbolizing Persephone's time in the Underworld, and spring marking her return to the living world. Each symbol reflects deeper themes of change, growth, and the cycle of nature.
Students can create a storyboard by using a provided template to identify and illustrate important symbols from the Persephone myth. They should describe each symbol's meaning, show its role in the story, and use images or scenes to visually represent key moments.
The pomegranate is crucial because it ties Persephone to the Underworld. Its many seeds symbolize new life and growth, but eating it binds Persephone to Hades, reflecting the dual themes of life and death in the myth.
Winter represents the period when Persephone is in the Underworld. During this time, the earth grows cold and barren, reflecting Demeter's grief and making winter a symbol of loss and waiting.
This activity is best suited for grades 6-12. It encourages middle and high school students to explore Greek mythology through symbols, themes, and creative thinking.
