possible (items may include office supplies, household goods, clothing,
natural/cultural items from a park, etc).
--Use video clips of Schindler’s List to demonstrate the linking of tangible items
to their intangible meanings (segment shows Schindler looking at scene of
destruction during the holocaust…everything is in black and white. He sees a
little girl in a red coat. Camera follows her into a building, where she hides
under a bed. Next clip comes from later in the film, while Schindler is at a
concentration camp, and he sees a wagon of corpses, and the red coat is amongst
the piles.)

have a discussion, which they will use to make a presentation to the class.

Instructor writes the object and the meaning on a flipchart, and uses this
information to illustrate tangible/intangible links.
