Do now about symbolism 

      We started out with the do now, which asked us about what is symbolism, then we read and talked about ''The Sneeches'' by: Dr.Seuss and we highlighted evidence of what symbolism is in the text. Today's Big learning targets are 5.0-I can effectively engage in high-quality, text- based discussion with diverse partners. 3.0- I can write in order to learn about Chinese history. The supporting learning target is 4.4- I can use evidence to support my inferences (educated guesses).
