    Theme Statements

    • Since themes shouldn't be a single word, we need to create a theme statement.

    • Topic IS NOT a theme statement.

    • So, how do we write one?

  • Slide 8

    How to write a theme statement:

    • Create a list of theme topics that can be supported with evidence from the text and choose ONE topic that is best demonstrated by the text.

    • Next, write a sentence about the author's message. (The author's message is that...)

    • Finally, cross out "The author's message is that," and you should be left with a theme statement!

    • Let's try it out together.
