Key Concepts for Learning:

• Finding significant passages in a work of literature.
• Identifying symbols in a work of literature.
• Using quotation to support an interpretation.

Lesson Design:

First, select a quote, which you think is important, from the story. Your quote, which is a section of the story copied exactly, word-for-word as it appears in print, may include dialogue (talking) or it may entirely describe action. The quote must be from a significant, meaningful moment in the story. The quote and what it represents is the most important part. We are looking to see what you think is significant in the story and then ... to see how you illustrate it.

Next, create a picture that illustrates this quote. Attach the quote to the front of the picture. Include the name of the story and the author, along with the quote. For a book, underline the title. Use color, make it neat, and put the art on a single piece of printer paper or other unlined paper of about the same size.
