[quote=Anonymous]My first instinct is to pick something somewhat ambiguous/mysterious (Lost comes to mind) to watch or read together as a fun family activity and discuss it naturally (not in literary terms and certainly not as a lesson) as you go. You can speculate about what different clues may have meant and what might happen next. Basically, foreshadowing, symbolism, and other literary concepts are all common narrative elements. English classes just adopt formal terms and make it boring and stuffy. Once he’s familiar with the concepts, he can apply the academic terms to them.[/quote]
