Small Group Work:

Activity #2

Notes on Theme

I Can...

1. get a basic understanding of theme to prepare myself to analyze how theme is developed. 

• Theme is an idea in a literary work
• Statement that provides an insight into how the world works
• Similar to a moral or lesson
• Recurs throughout the piece of literature

Tomorrow we will be watching a video,  reading short stories, and analyzing the themes presented in them.
