Description

The two included lessons are for teachers looking to teach allusions and symbolism with Anthony Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See. The two close readings in these assignments covers section One 1934 (Pages 50-54). My students enjoyed exploring the symbolic meaning for Doerr's Sea of Flames stone and its supposed curse. For the second lesson, students interpret the symbolic meaning behind Doerr's discussion about the topic of light. This is a great activity to help students connect the title of the novel to the author's purpose. After analyzing Doerr's use of figurative language, students finish this activity with a paragraph response that connects the character's world to our students' world. Students are asked to craft a response paragraph where they reflect on the technologies of our world and make connections to the technologies in the novel.
