Plot (Conflict) and Theme in Literature

Aim: How do we analyze plot and theme in literature?       

Journal Prompt #5: "Conflict and Theme"
Describe a major conflict in your life. Then, describe a major theme (idea) of your life. Journal responses should be at least one well-organized paragraph.

Today is Literature Circle. There will be a presentation on Types of Conflict and Theme in Literature. After the mini-lesson, apply what you learned to the main character in your independent reading book. In other words, respond to today's journal prompt once again, only this time as it relates to the main character in your book. This response should be at least two-paragraphs and as always, it should be supported with specific and relevant evidence from the text.
