This week students will wrap up their focus on the essential question: "How do characters and their interactions teach us lessons?" Students will continue to characterization strategies to demonstrate their understanding of a text, while determining the theme of a text. Students will practice strategies that support their thinking of the theme and central message of a text. Students are working to determine a theme or message from the text that can be applied to their own lives.
