1. In Schoology, I have posted an article “Theme: What Ties it All Together”. Students need to read this first. Take notes on main ideas.

The link is also found HERE: Theme: What Ties it All Together

2. In Schoology, you will need to complete the following assignment:

Pick three of your favorite movies. Go through the process of determining theme
with each of these movies.

• Start with the universal issue. 
• Think about why it is evident in the movie. 
• Write out what you think the author is saying about that issue? What are they teaching us? Remember “The author believes….”.  
• Then you will need to come up with 3 specific examples of how you see that theme in that film. 

3. If you have not completed it yet, make sure that you have your 4 pieces of evidence for the 3 themes in The Other Wes Moore that we worked on Wednesday/Thursday.
