Symbolism in Poetry

Article 28 - Every child has the right to an education.

In English, we have been reading some poems from the book, Box.  These poems include lots of symbolism about the lives of slaves in 18th and 19th century America.  The children idenitfied the symbolism and its meaning from the poems and then used some of it as inspiration when writing their own poem about slavery.
