Resurrection Basket Due Thursday

We will be putting together resurrection baskets this Thursday. This will count for a language grade. Students will think of a traditional or non-traditional item found in an Easter basket. The important aspect of the item is that it must connect symbolically to the passion, burial, or resurrection of Christ.
 I gave the example in class that the grass in the basket may represent the rebirth of spring. Just as the grass dies in the winter and revives in the spring, so did Christ die and come back.

• Students will need enough of the item chosen to share with the entire class. 
• We have 11 students in our class. 
• Students will need a small basket for their items. 
• I will provide the grass.
• Students will take the basket home on Thursday and explain the symbolism of each item to you. Then again they may have to recall, as I am sure they will want to eat any edible items.
• There will also be a writing assignment. 
• Absent students will be excused from this assignment.
