Look at the following three pictures. They are excerpts from the graphic novel version of C. S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe from the Chronicles of Narnia.
Even if you don't know the story, try to interpret those three pages -- what might they allude to? What story do they remind you of? What can they mean in a figurative sense?
Try to go more into detail -- what does the broken stone table stand for?
Can you find other "symbols" that could represent something else?
In-Class Practice II: Group Work
Get together in the groups you worked in last time, and solve the numbers 2-9 on page 55 in your textbook. Below is a scan of the page, in case you forgot to bring your textbook. What implications can you detect in the statements? (Number 1 is an example.) Take some notes, and present your findings to the class.
In-Class Practice III: Individual Work
Look at pages 64 and 65 of your textbook. Read about the formula "Seems to Be about X, but Could Also be (Is Really) about Y."
Then, find an ad on the Internet (with an image or video) that seems to be about one thing, but really deals with another thing. Open a new blog thread, insert your picture or hyperlink your video, and compose a short statement similar to the example of the Nike Freestyle commercial evaluation at the bottom of page 64, analyzing why your ad has an implicit meaning.
If you don't finish in class, you can finish it up at home.
