Today we will continue discussing Theme. 'Theme' is a lesson or message that you take from a story and apply to your own life. Theme is a universal message that applies to everyone. Theme is neither the main idea of a piece of writing nor a summary. It does not include any character names in the sentence. NOTE: A list of common theme topics has been included in this activity.
