Getting motivated about theme

Goal: Learn a bit about character motivation and apply what you learned in your last lesson on theme to the book you are reading as a group.

Agenda:

Character Motivation
Review Theme
Theme work with your group

Reading the Novel Chart:
Update your chart with what you read today and the implications of those events.

Character motivation: 
Get motivated to learn more about character motivation.

Theme work with your group:

• Have ONE person in your group get a copy of your theme organizer. 
• That person needs to rename it correctly, share it with everyone in the group, and share it with Mrs. R. 
• Work as a group to complete the organizer. Divide the work evenly. 
• Remember you need evidence to go with your themes. 
• I will look at the revision history to see who completed what.

Reminders: 

Keep reading. 

Look for what your character wants and see how he/she is/or is not achieving those short and long term goals. 

Keep thinking about how all of this supports the theme(s) you worked on today.
