To develop an understanding of this strategies do some quick research: define the strategy in our own words, construct a symbol you think represents the strategy, and explain your symbol in writing. Then create a mini-poster to hang on the wall for us to reference during this unit. Include the name of the strategy, the definition of the strategy and your symbol. Also be sure to leave space for us to record examples from A Small Place.
