"Each time students read, they’re entering into a conversation with the author about what matters." 
- Jeffrey Wilhelm, professor at Boise State University

You have to "think beyond the small world elements of the story to extract the big world lesson of the theme." 
- WeAreTeachers.com

"Themes are universal, whereas main idea statements include specific details and are usually specific to one story." 
- Mary, blogger at Teaching with a Mountain View
