TEACHING SYMBOLISM Using KPOP Demon Hunters! | Reading Strategies for Middle School

Want to teach your students how to identify symbolism in literature and movies with confidence? In this video, I’ll walk you through a step-by-step strategy for teaching symbolism that works with any story, whether it’s a novel, short story, or even a film. To make it engaging, I’m using KPOP Demon Hunters as an example, but this strategy can be applied to any text your students are reading.

Your students will learn:
✅ What a symbol is in literature (objects, people, settings, or dialogue with deeper meaning)
✅ How to spot repeated elements that could be symbolic
✅ How to connect symbols to emotional impact on characters
✅ How to translate concrete symbols into abstract ideas and themes

By the end, you’ll have a clear framework for teaching symbolism in the classroom: no more guessing! This approach gives students the tools to analyze symbols and deepen their understanding of theme.
