Class Work

First, let's talk a little about good luck charms. Do you or have you ever owned any?

How many here did you know of?

What should be added to the list?

Do Good Luck charms work? (Discuss - this is your opinion.)

Now, let's discuss symbols. ..

What symbols do you know?
Do you own anything symbolic?
Are there any symbols which define you in some way?

Today we are going to watch a documentary on Peru. Look for the symbols of the country. Before beginning, do a Google search and see what some symbols of the culture are. Now, watch the documentary and look for other symbols.


For homework, select an ancient culture and find 7-10 symbols of that culture. Explain each. Post in Canvas and be ready to share at your table on Thursday.

For extra credit, bring a good-luck charm or something "symbolic" to class on Thursday.
