Create a small group activity based on this standard: 5.T.T.1.c Explain how a theme is demonstrated through a character’s growth or conflict resolution. (I). 4 Pages, not more than 2 pages printed front to back. Something that I can use during small group with students.
This learning resource focuses on helping students understand how themes in literature are illustrated through character growth and conflict resolution. Through the analysis of classic stories like 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' and 'Thank You, Mr. Falker', students will learn to identify crucial moments of character change and recognize the underlying themes. The resource outlines structured activities such as Think-Pair-Share discussions and guided practices that encourage students to track character development, articulate lessons learned, and analyze the connection between character actions and thematic messages. By the end of the activity, students will articulate how characters' journeys illuminate broader themes, enhancing their understanding of narrative structure and moral lessons.
