Here’s what teachers are saying:
✏️ “My students used this during their social issues book clubs. units. They were given their own anchor chart to refer to. It is a great scaffolded way to introduce theme and for them to start doing the thinking in their clubs.” -Susan T.
✏️ “Page 2 is particularly useful in the metacognition of theme–helping break down the thought process for determining theme. I normally use this resource in class, but I was able to use it for remote instruction this year. I displayed each page of the resource on my computer screen while I recorded a voice-over on Screencastify. We applied the learning to some familiar read alouds.” -Stefani S.
✏️ “Theme can be quite tricky – especially for my young 3rd graders. Thank you for sharing this useful resource!” -Natalie D.

I love projecting the ‘Theme’ slide with the bottle. My visual learners love seeing the bottle as it helps them remember the bigger meaning of theme. The graphic organizer is neat and student-friendly. Thank you!
