Directions for Theme Tree:

*Remember Theme is like the message, or lesson, of the story?

Step 1: Think about the story of Freak the Mighty and list some theme topics on the trunk of the theme tree (Use page 21 in your notebook)

Step 2: Pick the topic that you think is the strongest, best, or most interesting.

Step 3: Find, and record in your graphic organizer, four pieces of text evidence from Freak the Mighty. (Like we did with Christian the Lion) Think - what happened in the story that made me think about this theme/topic. 

Step 4: Analyze your text evidence and think about the message, or lesson, you learn. Ask yourself, "What can I learn about ____________ ?"

Step 5: Write your "Theme Statement" on the lines provided.
