4kids4me Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm just SO uneducated when it comes to symbols in literature. I would like suggestions for a resource - not online, but a book I can hold in my hand - to help me with it. My only want is that it's easy to refer to so my children can use it, too! Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? Figuratively Speaking Using Classic Literature to Teach 40 Literary Terms. Covers figurative language, poetic language, and literary techniques.

amyco Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I agree about Figuratively Speaking. I have it and it's great. I am planning on using it after we finish Story Elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4kids4me Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm thinking maybe more of a reference guide. So if I keep seeing the colour red, it means? Or dark skies mean? Or roses mean? Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
