Next you need to look back in the text to see if your theme is in the text. After you find the theme you can also find the Main Idea, Problem and Solution, Compare and contrast things, and find details for a summary. Also in the theme of a story you also can double check your theme if it the reader or author doesn't understand the theme. When you find the the just look for what the author doesn't tell you.]]> 2017-03-21 11:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161451785 https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161452003 You figure out the theme of the story by doing a few things. One is by finding context clues from the passage. Another is finding the main idea. Like if the main idea is " The princess and the frog went on an adventure and became a happy couple" so the theme would be "You can always find happiness."]]> 2017-03-21 11:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161452003 https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161452172 How you figure out the theme of the story is by figuring out what the text is teaching or telling you as a lesson, since a theme is the same thing as a moral.  To learn the moral is to look for the main idea to help understand the text better.  For example, in the classic "The Tortoise and The Hare" the moral/theme is that slow and steady wins the race, I can figure this out because the hare was carefree about winning the race making frequent rests along the way while the tortoise never stopped or gave up even when he knew he was slower but won the race. That is how you can find the theme of a story in a text.]]> 2017-03-21 11:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161452172 https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161452268       To find the theme of a story you must find the main idea. After you find the main idea, based off of that you can use details from the text to find the theme. You can also find the problem and the solution. Based off of the problem and solution you can find the theme. You can even make a summary to help yourself. These are the ways I find the theme.]]> 2017-03-21 11:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161452268 https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161452584 To find the theme of the story I read the story twice and the second time I try to understand what the story is teaching you.]]> 2017-03-21 11:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161452584 https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161452930 to figure out the theme of a story, you have to a few steps. first, you have to find the characters and their actions. next, you look at the setting and what is happening in that setting. last, you look at what lesson is told in the story.

Next you have to figure out the message the author is trying to tell you. Like in little red riding hood   the girl doesn't listen to her parents the wolf eats the grandma and in "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" the boy kept lying that there was a wolf but then there was a wolf the townspeople didn't listen because the little boy lied and then the wolf ate him.]]> 2017-03-21 11:54:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161452972 https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161453676   You can find theme with the characters actions and their feelings from their actions. Also you can read the story and summarize the text. Then you can get the lesson from what the summarize says. Another is that when stories to the hare and the tortoise the tortoise won because hare thought the tortoise was slow. So when he got a ahead he took a nap and next thing you know the tortoise won. The theme is that you should never judge someone.]]> 2017-03-21 11:57:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161453676 https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161453804 To get the theme o an ]]> 2017-03-21 11:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161453804 https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161453849 If you don't know theme is what the passage teaches you and it must be something you could take in for your life. To find the theme of a text or story you will need to understand the order of events happening in a passage. This will help you conclude or should I say sum up the story.  Before you can do that you may have to recognize the characters and their actions. For example:  In The Boy Cried Wolf. The boy tricked people by shouting  out wolf when the wolf was not there ,but when the wolf was there nobody payed him any attention. In effect the boy's sheep were eaten.  According to the characters actions I understand the importance of  the theme karma. Also when finding theme make sure it is universal. This means it can be the same as other stories and life not just in one single book. Just know theme can help figuring out text structure. Such as: Cause and effect. Like what leads up to the theme or how does relate to theme. These are all things that text structure may help theme and theme may help text structure.]]> 2017-03-21 11:57:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161453849 https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161453855 You find the theme of the story by looking for clues about what the problems are such as : "My dog died".  This is an example of a way that you can find a theme. These usually lead to the moral of the story.]]> 2017-03-21 11:57:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161453855 https://padlet.com/tiffanyedwards5/b6mlbes6u8yl/wish/161454041 kaj wycz

You can also find the theme by looking at the main idea which can some times tell you the moral of the story which is related to the theme. For example in the story the ant and the grasshopper the ant was getting food for the winter while the grasshopper was relaxing and not getting food for the winter and when the winter came the grasshopper was cold and hungry while the ant was warm and cozy.

You find the theme when you find your main idea or if you found your main idea you are close to finding the theme. For example if the main idea of a passage is  Tim didn't keep his room clean the theme would be some thing like keep your space clean. I use the main idea and made it a universal idea so I can use it not only in keeping my room clean.  These are my simple steps to finding the theme. First, read the passage. Second, Read again and look for important parts. Third, use the important parts to find the main idea. Fourth, turn the main idea into some thing you can use every day or a universal idea that means you can apply what you learned to different  problems. In conclusion you figure out the theme by making the main idea universal.
