Identifying Theme in Fictional Texts - ELA Test Prep Skills, Reading Passages

Students will be learning how to identify the theme of a passage. They will be shown different ways in which theme is shown in a passage and will analyze those lessons. The teacher will model this strategy using a few very short stories, and the students will apply this strategy individually on two longer fictional texts.
