Description

How to teach Theme

Using this Determining Theme Graphic Organizers Activity, students determine the theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text using Graphic Organizers.

Theme is the central message of a story. The theme will help you understand the lesson the author wants you to learn from reading their writing. This activity will help your students to determine the theme while using a graphic organizer.

Students will read either a story, drama, or poem. Then, they will use the corresponding graphic organizer to summarize the text and determine the theme.

Introduce this activity by listening to the Have Fun Teaching Story Elements Song. Next, students share examples of lessons that they have learned from other books that they have read. Write their ideas on an anchor chart so your students can reference them during the lesson. Then, students read independently or with a partner a story, poem, or drama and summarize using the graphic organizer. Finally, students share what they have read about. Once finished, students use the graphic organizer to find the theme of other books. This graphic organizer can be very helpful to use in a reading center or guided reading group to teach theme.
