The student did not just outline the letter and stick pictures to it.
And the images spell out---ENLIGHTENMENT
The actual images/symbols naturally form the shape of the specific letters.
b)The images each defined a different aspect of the ENLIGHTENMENT-That means 13 different characteristics.
No concepts or images were repeated.
If an image or aspect is repeated, it will not be counted.
You may use computer images from teacher’s PowerPoints uploaded on the teacher page, the internet, or hand-draw them.
