I recently started teaching the novel "Speak" with my honors freshman classes. They love it! One of the things that I wanted them to focus on when they are text marking their books ( they annotate in all of their novels) are the motifs the author uses. Below is a visual I made to remind my students what they should be looking for as they read. The images are supposed to be a mirror, seeds, trees, and lips/mouths. Feel free to steal this idea to help your kiddies!
