Your turn! In your groups, you will analyze a symbol on all 3 levels. Each member must write down his/her analysis of each level. As a group, you will combine the group answers on your large sheet of paper. Next, you will move as a group to see a different symbol. You will take notes on this symbol before moving on to the next symbol.

Level 1: What is the object? Level 2: What does the object represent? Level 3: What does the representation represent?
