Ryin, you have so much to choose from, now you have to whittle away to find the most important things you want to keep. Consider looking again at each category and see if you can find symbolism for one or two items. For example, if you choose tamales, what would they symbolize in your story. You are doing a good job with your brainstorming, keep it up.
ReplyDeleteYour list is so full of very interesting facts about your culture. I think that your pastiche is going to be very interesting and fun for kids to read. :]
