READING
Introduction
Hey reader! We will be reviewing how we use the knowledge of characters to understand theme today.
Sometimes characters are also learning lessons based upon their experiences or interactions with one another. We should pay attention to these things because they may help us understand the theme in a text.

Stop and Jot
In Your Notebook: Read for 30 minutes. Continue thinking about themes of your text. Write these themes down. If you've already written your theme down, go back to them and write down ways that the characters support the theme or have learned that lesson in the text.
