Constructing the Theme of a Story.

Au, Kathryn H.

Language Arts, v69 n2 p106-11 Feb 1992

Looks at the features of teacher-guided discussions of literature that led elementary students toward constructing a theme for a story. Shows how students can profitably explore theme in the literature they are reading and provides an alternative to the directed reading activity format that has become typical of small group reading instruction.
