Teaching Theme Mini-Unit
This is a mini-unit to teach the basic concept of theme. It will take 3-5 days depending on your students.

The structured questions and the “formula” provided here help young students find the path to discovering the theme in a short story, novel, or movie. The writing is aligned with Common Core standards.
