Provide an example of each. en-us 2017-11-29 13:48:19 UTC 2017-12-05 15:16:17 UTC hello@padlet.com Kaitlyn https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213319169 The difference between the big idea and theme is the big idea is the topic or subject the author is writing about. The theme is the statement or an opinion about the big idea. For example: 
Big idea: lies 
Theme: one lie will turn into more]]> 2017-12-05 15:02:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213319169 Marissa https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213319734 The difference between the big idea and a theme is the big idea is what the text mainly focuses on and theme is the message behind the story,it’s what the author is trying to teach.]]> 2017-12-05 15:02:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213319734 Olivia Wilkins https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213319952 Big ides is a topic or subject. Theme is a statement or expression about the big idea. Theme is also a feeling about the big idea. These two things are different because theme describes big idea.   Another way to think of it is that big idea is the main overall ides and theme is your input and/or expression abou the big idea.

The theme can express some opinion about the big idea and can teach the reader about the life lesson he is trying to convey. One example of a big idea is the book was about a boy who breaks a vase then apologized for doing it. However the theme of this story would be we learn from our mistakes. That is the difference between big idea and theme.]]> 2017-12-05 15:03:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213319965 Angelene Arguelles https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213320170 The difference between big idea and theme is that big idea is the topic or subject the author decides to write about and theme is the moral or the life lesson you learn in the passage or story.]]> 2017-12-05 15:03:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213320170 Jason Sanchez https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213320207 The difference between a big idea and theme is that a big idea is the main thing on what’s going on but a theme is what the author is trying to convey to you and it will keep on coming up and up again that is the difference between a theme and a big idea/main idea]]> 2017-12-05 15:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213320207 Gabriela https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213320216 A big idea is the main idea or the topic of the passage and the theme is what the author is trying to tell you or convince you from the big idea]]> 2017-12-05 15:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213320216 Jhenny jhenny2468 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213320515 The difference between Big idea an Theme is big idea is a topic or a subject mean while Theme is a statement what you think the author is trying to tell you.]]> 2017-12-05 15:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213320515 Grace https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213320582 The difference between the big idea and the theme of a story are that the big idea is the topic or idea that the author is writing about. Meanwhile, the theme of a story is the lesson or moral that the author is trying to teach you. As you can see that is why the big idea of the story and the theme are two different things that seem the same but really aren’t.]]> 2017-12-05 15:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213320582 Nikola D. https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213320692

Maybe you want to read about Dinosaurs and you find a book. That’s what the Author chose to write,about dinosaurs and that’s the Big Idea. A Theme is a statement or expresses some opinions about a Big Idea. Maybe you don’t agree with this and you make a statement about the Theme you think it is. This is what I think the difference is. ]]> 2017-12-05 15:04:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213320749 Benito https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/cay13ntjfozd/wish/213320768 The difference is that the idea is what the author chooses to write about and the theme is what the story teaches the reader.

For example a big idea could be about an ugly duck. The theme should be don’t judge a book by its cover
