This term is commonly misused, describing any and all representational relationships, which in fact are more often metaphorical than symbolic. A symbol must be something tangible or visible, while the idea it symbolizes must be something abstract or universal. (In other words, a symbol must be something you can hold in your hand or draw a picture of, while the idea it symbolizes must be something you can’t hold in your hand or draw a picture of.) || __[]__ ||  ||   || Definition Restated in Your Own Words || express ideas and emotions with symbols ||  ||   ||   || A brief History of your device ||  ||   ||   ||   || Three Written Examples || The Lion fell in Love with the lamb. ||  ||   ||   || is like unneeded love but happened anyways ||   ||   ||   || A triangular shape with a stick person wearing a dress represents girls restroom ||  ||   ||   || A fork and knife represents a restaurant is in that area ||  ||   ||   || Include in your page at least one Quicktime Recordings of your Lit Device: || A song or video clip ||  ||   ||   || ||  ||   ||   || Make a Purpose Game and link it to your pages || Five questions including a definition and examples. ||  ||   ||   ||
