Overzicht van het Lesplan

Objecten komen om verschillende dingen in verschillende contexten te symboliseren en het begrijpen van de symboliek is van vitaal belang voor een grotere waardering van de literatuur. Veel studenten kunnen erkennen dat er iets wordt geassocieerd met Thanksgiving, maar ze kunnen niet begrijpen waarom. Deze activiteit kan studenten een goede basis voor symbolen en symboliek , of het kan worden gebruikt als een focus op Thanksgiving zelf.

Ik koos ervoor om het gebruik van spin kaart lay-out, maar de grid, traditionele storyboard en T-chart zou zo goed werkt. Het symbool moet de naam in het vak Titel moet een visuele weergave worden in het storyboard cel, en een uitleg van wat het symbool voorstelt moeten worden opgenomen in de beschrijving.

Hier zijn een paar mogelijke voorbeelden:

Tips voor de symbolen van Thanksgiving

1

Create a Thanksgiving symbol scavenger hunt for your classroom

Engage students by designing a scavenger hunt where they search for Thanksgiving symbols around your classroom or school. This interactive activity helps reinforce symbol recognition and meaning while getting students moving and collaborating.

2

List the symbols you want students to find

Select 5–8 Thanksgiving symbols (e.g., turkey, cornucopia, wheat, autumn leaves) relevant to your lesson goals. Choosing familiar and new items helps students connect prior knowledge with new insights.

3

Hide or display symbols creatively around the room

Print or draw each symbol, then place them in visible or semi-hidden spots. Consider taping them under desks, on bulletin boards, or near bookshelves to make the hunt fun and challenging.

4

Give students a checklist or worksheet to record findings

Hand out a simple sheet with each symbol’s name and space for students to write what it represents. This encourages recall and deeper understanding of each symbol’s meaning.

5

Review each symbol as a class after the hunt

Discuss what students found and invite them to share their ideas about each symbol’s meaning. Sharing helps reinforce learning and builds classroom community.
