It seems obvious, after laying the groundwork for an understanding of literary symbolism in parables, fables, allegories, and the very complex relationship of symbols in The Bear, that students will craft their own stories that include symbols. They will have many examples upon which to draw, and may even choose to model their stories after one of the fables, parables or allegories we have read. The unit will have laid the groundwork for their own experimentation with story telling and literary symbols.
