Theme vs. Topic: Do you struggle to get your students to see the difference between the TOPIC and the THEME of a text? This resource was designed with them in mind!
Students will read 16 engaging, high-interest stories and write a one word topic and a longer, more thoughtful theme for each one. Includes both a task card option and a full-page printable option.
Theme Paired Passage Tasks: Engage your students in thinking critically about theme with this set of paired passages task cards.
