Honors English II. Symbolism Project


Symbolism is used in all genres of literature. We discussed obvious symbols in culture such as various flags, the heart, the cross, etc. You must choose one symbol used in our everyday lives. Symbolism is everywhere: brand marketing, food products, restaurants, car names, clothing, TV, film, music, etc. (Our example was Dove soap and chocolate – the symbolism being it promotes a peaceful feeling.) Your topic must be approved by Thursday, 2/21. On Monday, 2/25, you will present your everyday symbol to the class. You are required to submit one page in writing (typed or neatly written in pen) along with some sort of visual aid. Your visual aid could be the product itself or just a picture; a collage or Glogster would work.

To be fair, whoever replies with a comment first containing their symbol idea will win that topic for their project. If someone submits your idea before you do, then you will have to decide on a different symbol. 

On Monday, we will hear about 29 different everyday symbols.
