Review from yesterday – “Identity” What were some key L2 words that came up when you looked at your L2? Make sure you write these in provided box. What does the weed represent? What do the flowers represent? What is it that gives the weed its freedom? Write the main idea of the poem. One sentence… What is the main thing going on. In the poem?

Notes: Thematic Statement” Theme: A theme is an idea or concept that is repeated throughout the text that helps the reader understand the message of the story NOT the moral of the story Constant/recurring from beginning to end One word, or a few words EX: Faith, Loss of innocence, Facing reality, Motherhood, Oppression A thematic statement is a universal statement that is presented in or suggested by the text. Your theme or L2 word helps in writing this statement One complete sentence Does not mention “you” or any character names Arguable EX: Hardships and negative experiences in life can make a person become stronger

How do we get from the thematic idea to a thematic statement? Consider the movie Finding Nemo Loss Insecurity The need for independence Overprotectiveness Rebelliousness Overcoming obstacles OVERPROTECTIVENESS – WHAT IS THE WRITER OF FINDING NEMO TRYING TO TELL US ABOUT OVERPROTECTIVENESS? START YOUR SENTENCE WITH “OVERPROTECTIVENESS”

Overprotectiveness creates rebelliousness in those who are victims of such a restricted environment.

Your turn: Consider the movie Finding Nemo Loss Insecurity The need for independence Overprotectiveness Rebelliousness Overcoming obstacles OVERCOMING OBSTACLES – WHAT IS THE WRITER OF FINDING NEMO TRYING TO TELL US ABOUT THE OVERCOMING OBSTACLES? START YOUR SENTENCE WITH “OVERCOMING OBSTACLES”

Thematic Statements Copy into notes: Friday Thematic Statements Copy into notes: Road: Choices have to be made even though one may not foresee the outcome. Uncertainty can lead to indecisiveness, yet one still must make choices. The path one takes in life will include many twists and turns, the outcomes of which may not be immediately known. Identity: Being true to oneself is more important than conforming to the expectations of others. Struggle and hardship are small prices to pay for freedom. Though it can be tempting to follow the crowd, individuality makes one free to live a richer life.
