Activity #1
Mix & Mingle
Directions:
1. Find a partner
2. Share the thematic topics from your theme tree
3. Share the "Text Evidence" you included
4. Share the Theme that you wrote
5. Discuss
6. On my whistle you will find a new partner and repeat steps 1 - 5
Questions:
- What thematic topics kept coming up in your discussions?
- Who did you work with that you think wrote a good theme?
- Is anyone willing to share their theme with the whole class?
- What was challenging about this assignment?
- Do you think this will be easier after we have finished reading the end of the story?
Activity #2
Theme Quiz
Directions:
- Read each passage carefully
- Think about the topics within each.
- Think about what the lesson is. Do not tell me about the characters. Tell me what you learned, and do NOT use the words I learned.
- Determine what you think the theme is and record your response on the line provided.
- Remember theme is a complete sentence, and it does not include character's names
- Theme is NOT one word.
- This will count as a homework/classwork grade.
- 2 points for each valid theme written correctly in a complete sentence.
This is a paper copy of your quiz. You can find the quiz under the classwork tab on our google classroom site.
Have a great day!
