Please read all instructions carefully before proceeding:

1. Open the Google Doc that is linked below. This is where you will find the "Scarlet Ibis" Color Symbolism Chart.

2. Click and drag to highlight the entire chart. Use Command+C or two finger click to copy it.

3. Open your Digital Notebook.

4. Paste the chart into the Writing Section of your Digital Notebook. Remember to include the date, and newest entries go at the top of the Writing Section.

5. Work individually or with a partner to fill out the feelings and ideas associated with each color. List as many as you can think of without looking it up.

6. Then find a quote from the short story that uses that color. All colors in the story have been bolded for your convenience. Copy the quote into your chart, and put quotation marks around it.

7. Then explain the significance of the color in the context of the quote. Consider: how does it add to your understanding of the characters, setting, or plot? Does it help convey the tone? How and why?

8. At the end of class, we will go over each color's associations so you can fill in any you may have missed.
