Symbolism and Mood Pyramids

The grade 7 author's techniques lessons continued with a study of symbolism and mood. Students reviewed symbolism and had to create a Mood Pyramid. Students chose a mood from a class list. They then had to think about what object, action, people, and setting most represent that mood. Students filled in the sides of their pyramids with images that represented each studying both mood and symbolism.

I have modified the online Plato course curriculum many times. The Author's Technique lesson is a worksheet that includes definitions and short answer responses for each. Instead of using that worksheet, I am using more interactive materials to teach the same concepts. Check back for info on the dialogue and description section of the Plato worksheet!
