Theme Essay Unit
The fourth grade students have been learning a lot about various big life topics and experiences that people will encounter throughout their lives. Some Big Life Topics that we are noticing pop up in our independent reading books and our read aloud books are:
Friendship
Fitting In
Families
Accepting Others
Accepting Yourself
Death
Loss
Siblings
Peer Pressure
In this writing unit, the students are working on noticing themes and or messages that can be interpreted about the Big Life Topics stated above. The theme essay will then convey the various themes they learned from the books that they read. In the essay, students will have to state the theme and use three pieces of text evidence to support their theme.
