Waardevolle aspecten van een literair werk zijn de thema's, symbolen en motieven. Een deel van de Common Core ELA normen in te voeren en uit te leggen deze complexe concepten. Echter, abstracte ideeën zijn vaak moeilijk voor studenten om te begrijpen zonder hulp. Met behulp van een storyboard, kunnen leerlingen visueel demonstreren hun begrip van deze concepten en meester analyse van literaire elementen.
In deze activiteit, kunnen de studenten koos een symbool uit het gedicht en verbeelden wat zij denken dat het vertegenwoordigt het gebruik van een storyboard.

Student Instructions
Identify examples of symbols in the poem.
Encourage students to look for repeating objects, words, or images in a poem. Point out that symbols are often used more than once to show importance.
Prompt students to think about what the symbol might mean outside the poem. Discuss how wings could represent freedom or opportunity in their own lives.
Read the poem aloud and highlight lines that might include symbols. Show how to jot notes in the margins about possible meanings.
Ask students to draw the symbol and what it stands for in the poem. Display their work to make abstract ideas more concrete and visible.
Invite students to share their symbol and its meaning. Encourage respectful listening and new ideas about how symbols can be interpreted.
Wings in 'Your World' symbolize a person's abilities and potential. When the wings are kept by the side, it shows self-doubt. When they are open, it means the person is ready to realize their potential and succeed.
Use storyboards to help students visually connect symbols to their meanings. Ask them to pick a symbol from the poem, explain what it represents, and illustrate it with scenes or characters. This makes abstract ideas more concrete and engaging.
Relate symbols to everyday objects (like a heart for love). Use visual aids, discuss examples from familiar stories, and encourage students to create drawings or storyboards to show what a symbol means in a poem.
Teaching themes and symbols early helps students develop critical thinking and reading comprehension. Understanding these elements prepares them to analyze more complex texts as they progress in school.
Students should: 1) Read the poem carefully; 2) Choose a symbol (like wings); 3) Write the symbol as a heading; 4) Explain its meaning; 5) Illustrate it with appropriate scenes; and 6) Save their assignment.
