Er zijn veel symbolen en motieven aanwezig in de roman Amina's Voice . In deze activiteit zullen de leerlingen symbolen en motieven identificeren en voorbeelden uit de tekst illustreren. Studenten kunnen verkennen door deze elementen zelf te identificeren of in een " envelopactiviteit ", waar ze een of meer krijgen om bij te houden tijdens het lezen. Vervolgens maken ze een spinnenkaart die illustreert wat ze hebben gevonden!

Doelstelling: Maak een storyboard dat terugkerende thema's, symbolen of motieven identificeert die in Amina's Voice voorkomen . Illustreer ze allemaal en schrijf een korte beschrijving onder elke cel.
Instructies voor studenten:
Start by asking students what they notice about the recurring objects or ideas in the novel. Encourage open conversation to let students share their thoughts and make personal connections.
Choose a section of the book and read it aloud as a class. Pause when you spot a possible symbol or motif, and think aloud about why it might be important.
Record each discovered symbol or motif on a visible chart. Invite students to help fill in details and add illustrations. This chart will act as a reference point throughout the unit.
Divide the class into small groups and assign each group a different chapter or section. Challenge them to find fresh examples of symbols and motifs, then report back to the class.
Ask students to write a brief exit ticket at the end of the lesson. Prompt them to explain how a symbol or motif helped them better understand a character or theme in the story.
Key symbols and motifs in Amina's Voice include names, food, Soojin's treasure chest pendant, the TV show 'The Voice', Amina's own voice, music, public speaking, the song "A Change is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke, and Quran memorization and recitation. These elements help convey deeper themes and character development throughout the novel.
Engage students by having them identify symbols and motifs as they read, either independently or through an 'envelope activity.' Then, ask students to create a spider map or storyboard that illustrates and explains each example, fostering analytical thinking and discussion.
An envelope activity involves giving students envelopes containing specific motifs or symbols to track as they read. This strategy encourages close reading and collaborative exploration of recurring elements in the text.
Music in Amina's Voice appears through Amina's love for singing, her experiences with public speaking, and references to impactful songs like "A Change is Gonna Come." These moments highlight her growth, identity, and connection to community.
Symbols and motifs help students uncover deeper meanings in the story, such as cultural identity, friendship, and personal growth. Discussing these elements enhances comprehension and critical thinking skills.
