There are many themes, symbols and motifs present throughout the novel Other Words for Home. In this activity, students will identify themes, symbols, and motifs in Other Words for Home and illustrate examples from the text. Students can explore by identifying these elements themselves or in an “envelope activity”, where they are given one or more to track throughout their reading. Then, they'll create a spider map illustrating what they found!
