We are continuing to work on our Symbolism unit. We finished watching Avatar and are working on writing a strong paragraph to explain three symbols within the film and their meaning. 

We also discussed Symbolism in song and have started a research project on a song of our choice. Please check Google Classroom for all documents required, including an exemplar analysis for the song, "Wheat Kings."
