Let’s Review Some of the Different Restaurant Themes That We have Seen.. On your white boards.. Create a list of all of the different restaurant themes that you can think of....

Definitions Theme - “The Big Idea” The underlying message If you put this thing in a pile with other things like it, it is what you would call the pile In a story, it is the lesson the main character learns

How to Find Theme Ask yourself: What does the writer want me to learn? Look for a lesson that a character learns.

Theme is Not!!! The main idea... It is so much more!!! It is not a one word answer...

Theme is... The Bigger Picture... The major idea or lesson.... It is important to understand that different types of writing can contain more than one theme...
