Shakespeare Learns about Allegory

Mrs. Broadus's display for the presentation
Allegory is a story or image in which the characters and events are symbols that stand for ideas about human life or for a political or historical situation.

Mr. Smid's Seventh Grade A.T. Literature class learned about allegory using stories from Dr. Seuss. They came to the LRC to learn about the author's life and his motivation to teach lessons through his writing and illustrations. He teaches us the importance of taking care of the earth in "The Lorax" and the idea of human equality in "Sneetches."
