Talk/No Talk
Themes in “Marigolds” by E. Collier

2. Rules! Theme = central message of the story
Each table has a theme and lit. term from the story, write HOW the story fits that theme
When the music is on, you are writing, and not talking.
You write for the duration of the song (until I change it) and when it stops, you stop
When I say rotate, you will rotate to the next table group
You may sit or stand, but you may not talk (yet!)

3. Exit slip
Choose one of the themes from the posters or think of one on your own and write a paragraph explaining the themes presence in Marigolds. Be sure to provide evidence to support your ideas!
