Often the title gives us hint about theme.

Remember , theme addresses

the entire piece of writing

We can state theme in many ways

Each of us has prior experiences

We are each uniqueSlide8

Theme is not the topic, but a lesson you can apply to your life

For example: family

You should always put your family before your friendsSlide9

Identifying Theme

You can determine the theme by examining how the character has changed

A dynamic character

develops throughout the story

What did this character learn through his experiencesSlide10

Identifying Theme

Conflict can help determine the theme

Conflict Resolution Theme

is beneficial to all involved.Slide11

Is a theme always valid?

Evaluate the writer’s ideas

Is the theme realistic? Then it is valid.

If you put your best foot forward,

you will usually succeed.

Is the theme idealistic? Then it is not valid

Good people never have any problems.
