When thinking about a story and its meaning it's helpful to use a T.D.P strategy
Every text has a topic (a general idea or subject it explores)
The topic is explored through the use of details or events (think descriptions of setting or character, conflicts, story action)
The chain of details or events and their consequences lead up to a point about the topic that can be applied to life or the human condition (the message, main idea, moral, theme, etc.)
Tomorrow, you will team-write a children's book with a theme or moral. (you will be given a list of topics and matching themes/morals).
HW: Finish Chilren's book theme worksheet. Bring your book and children's book to class TOMORROW.
