- During the first part of class today we began with a quiz (if you were absent, it's in the testing center).
- For the second part of class today you will continue to work with your group, focusing on your assigned set of symbols:
- Cars & clothes
- Social life & parties
- Time & seasons
- Colors – silver and gold
- Color – white; green
- The past and the present
- Eyes
- The city
- Jobs & careers
Now, you will create a way to creatively show your findings:
- Where do these symbols appear in the first four chapters of the book?
- Who uses them - are they spoken of or referred to by specific characters?
- In what context do they appear?
- What potential meanings do they convey?
Using quotations from the novel as the basis of your presentation, you can use any presentation program you like (powerpoint, Prezi, etc.) for your work. Add images or other text or anything you'd like! Try to finish with about ten minutes left in the period so we can share / view these. Share your presentation via Google with your group members and us. The easiest way to share it with us is to just drop it into your American Studies folder on your drive.
