If you're looking for a quick, efficient way to teach theme, this is it! Do your students struggle to find text evidence to support theme? Do they need practice with authentic texts?

This print-and-go set of 5 mini lessons will help you effectively teach theme with your students! Great for both whole group and small group instruction, these mini lessons follow the official mini lesson outline of: connection, teaching point, teach, practice, and link.

This mini lesson set includes hands-on activities to help teach theme--with everything you need, including teacher modeling pages, teacher prompting suggestions, passages, graphic organizers, and original texts! It also includes student practice pages and activity cards to help target skills and foster independent or partner/small group practice! To help you out even more, answer keys and teacher suggestions are provided for all activities!

Even better, when there are student practice pages that apply to a lesson, a digital version of each one is provided! These digital files are compatible with Google Slides, Google Classroom, and PowerPoint.

The lessons included in this set are:

• What would you find?
• Use Other Skills
• Write in the Evidence
• Determine the Theme in Photographs
• Theme in Real Life

These lesson plans, while short and sweet, are detailed enough to leave for a substitute or give to a teaching aide--especially since everything you need is included right in this file!
