Today, many of you received your Visual Stories and your paragraphs on Mr. Beresford back. I have asked that you make corrections to your work, so that you can learn from your mistakes. Once you have handed in your corrected work. I will adjust your grade.
Then we talked about theme:
Theme: Life lesson, meaning, moral or message about life or human nature that is communicated by a literary work.
In other words...
Theme is what the story teaches readers.
Theme is not a word, it is a sentence.
You do not have to agree with the theme to identify it.
We then read some sample short stories and searched for the theme in pairs. Everyone came up with great examples.
Next class we will read a story and write on the theme.
