3 O Christmas Tree Objective: To teach the literary term symbolism. Writers often use symbols to give extra meaning to the work. A symbol can be an object, character, or event whose significance in any writing is greater than it first appears. After reading “The Grandfather” by Gary Soto, the students were asked to reminisce about someone who means a great deal to them and list characteristics of that individual. These traits were then positioned on a tree (strong and rooted) symbolizing that person.
