What are the special symbols or outwrd signs of the sacrement of communion?
The special symbols when partaking of the sacrament are the water or wine, being symbolic of the blood of our Lord shed at Gethsemany and on the cross. The other is the bread or wafer eaten to symbolize the body of our Lord beaten and bruised prior to His being hung upon the cross. I take it by Outward Signs you mean the covenants we make when partaking of the sacrament as we apply them into our lives. As he gave up his life for us, we would be willing to give ours for him.
What does Paul mean in 1 Corinthians chapter 11 on communion?
17Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. 18For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 19For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. 20When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. 21For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 22What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. Paul here was 'not impressed' with the irreverent and divisive attitudes which were being shown by the Corinthians in the observance of the Lord's Supper. Evidently there was a degree of self-indulgence as well relating to the common meal which they also used to share at the same time. His rebuke was intended of course to bring them back into line and behave as true Christians should. Although his concern was about the behavior of the Corinthians, the concern he has relates to the importance he places on this central celebration which is a solemn remembrance of what Jesus did in laying down His life. If this was just a church fete he would not have had such a concern. The high degree of concern he demonstrates here indicates the high esteem of importance he places on the Lord's Supper and the consequent seriousness of the behavior of the Corinthian believers. The behavior of the Corinthians is held up against the light of truth which they were supposedly celebrating. The dis-unity they demonstrated was contrary to the unity which was meant to be evidenced around this meal - commemorating around one of the events most central to the Christian faith. The evident lack of appropriate solemnity indicative of a lack of awareness of what they were remembering. Thus it is in the light of the great reverence and high regard Paul has for this celebration that he finds such a stark and unacceptable contrast with the behavior of the Corinthians.

You should referain from doing so until you receive a better understanding of the Church's teachings.
