Use these 16 story cards to help your students gain confidence in finding the theme of a story. There are three different answer sheets so that you can differentiate as needed: multiple choice, short answer, and half and half. There are also answer keys for each answer sheet so that students can check their own work. Also included are two challenge cards with three activities on each card to deepen understanding and extend the learning. Students could use notebook paper or journals to answer these questions. In addition, there is a theme poster that can be used at your literacy center as a reminder for students. Theme is a challenging concept. While these cards can be used for individual practice (especially when using the multiple choice format), you may want to consider using them with your entire class or a small group by reading each story aloud and working together to determine the theme. One thing to keep in mind when working with the short answer responses is that theme is somewhat subjective. The answers on the answer key are suggestions, but your students may come up with different variations. For example, the answer for Card #1 is "Persistence pays off," However, "Practice makes perfect," and "Never give up." would also be appropriate answers. Ultimately, you will need to determine which answers to accept. These cards will look best in color, but will also print out fine in grayscale. Simply print and cut along the guidelines. Laminate and use them again and again. Alternatively, you could print on cardstock. It works well to keep them in a baggie. Another option is to hole-punch a corner of each card and put them all on a ring.
