Students often struggle with symbolism in literature, yet they have no problem understanding it in their own lives. Right now, Silly Bandz (or Goofy/Buddy Bands) are hot with kids, teens, and even adults. Why not harness that enthusiasm and utilize it for learning?
This lesson has four different activities using shaped bracelets to help teach symbolism in literature. Appropriate for upper elementary/middle-school through high school (yes, my high-schoolers are totally into them!).
Includes three different handouts, detailed instructions, and extended activities for learning.
This lesson is included in my Literature bundle with 100+ pages of handouts to use with any piece of literature.

Even though silly bands are becoming outdated, the tangible effect they have on kids' learning is outstanding!

This has been a great activity for my remedial readers! It encourages them to think about symbolism and helps make their reading more "real." (Plus, it's fun!)

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I've been teaching at my current public high school for twelve years, and have a total of 16 years experience. Most of my experience is teaching high school English and journalism classes; however, for several years I taught an art history class. I teach all levels--from honors students to special education students; therefore, I'm constantly modifying my assignments to fit my students' needs.
