Honors English 11
- You're working on presentations...hooray!
- You worked in class today, and at the end of the block, you all decided on what you were going to do for homework. So, do that. Remember, you should spend AT LEAST 20-30 minutes tonight working toward making your group project a success. If you finish your task more quickly, you might want to take on something else!
- Remember, theme can be tricky! For example, this page provides a great resource for developing a theme idea. If you look at it quickly, you might get the impression that the site lists a whole lot of themes, but it doesn't! Instead, it lists important topics, and the theme is what the text(s) says about the topic.
- This page provides some examples of common themes. Check yours against the examples given here. It's not going to be the same as any of these, but it should have the same features. It should make a statement about the story's main idea or message, but shouldn't be story-specific (meaning, it's not the plot, and it can apply to more than one text if another text has the same message).
