THEME: What is it? (and also One-Pager Work Time)

Remember: A theme is universal.
It can apply to anyone in the universe.
Okay maybe just Earth. Depends on how you feel about aliens

Today's Goal: 
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.2
Determine a theme or central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details

The Plan:

1. Read
2. THEME (what is it?!)
3. One-Pager Work Time (See Resources Tab for directions)

Be prepared to talk about the theme of your book club book next class.

These are Unit Questions to think about. We'll use them next week:

How does cultural identity shape your character's personal experiences within their community?

What important lesson does a character in your novel learn about themselves, their community, or the society they live in?

What passage teaches readers about a character's identity or culture and how it affects them?


Reminders/Homework:

• Read
• Be prepared to talk about the theme of your book club book next class.
