Thematic Unit sign
Prepare a thematic unit for a specific grade of your choosing.
Choose five books that are linked together by a common theme. Write a theme statement that links all five books together. Review the idea of topic vs. theme to make sure you have chosen a theme and not a topic.
Questions:
Who are the main characters in the original story? Explain what happens.
Who are the main characters in the second story? Explain what happens.
What are the differences in points of view from the wolf and the pigs? Compare the two stories.
How do they think the pigs feel in both stories? How does the wolf feel?
Do they think the wolf was bad or just misunderstood?
Can students think of a time when something happened that they were blamed for but didn’t get to say their side of the story? How did they feel?
