Themes in our Books

Hi everyone.  The discussion this week centres around themes in what we're reading.  We're just starting to explore what a theme is and how we can use our skills as great readers to figure out what the author's message is and the theme they are writing about.

Here are our first thoughts - our initial thinking - so join in the discussion and tell us about the themes in the books you're reading.

    1. You have no trouble identifying the theme - awesome work.

      Remember to use the resources around you to check your surface features too - use the book itself and the HOM charts on the window for the other words :-)
