The Chinese, Dish with the Eight Buddhist Emblems contains symbols and visual references for learners to explore. They search for Buddhist symbolism on the dish and then they use their observation skills to locate and explore the meaning of various symbols found on the US one-dollar bill. The kids then create imaginary currency that incorporates symbolism.
