→ What is theme?

→ How to find theme

→ The difference between topic and theme

→ How theme is revealed through plot, characters, and conflict

→ Universal themes

→ Thematic statements.

The presentation also uses some examples of movies and popular songs (with links to videos) to illustrate what a thematic statement looks like. Access to YouTube required.

• A thematic statement graphic organizer where students apply their understanding of theme to any reading you are studying (or have already studied) in class.

• A list of possible thematic topics that students can use as a reference
