Theme Anchor Chart

Yesterday I was helping out with a second grade class. They were doing a writing activity on a story they read that week. One of the questions was "What is the theme of the legend" and a lot of them were answering with the main idea of the story. I ran that by the teacher and she said ok we'll need to go over theme a little more. So I made this cute anchor chart to help define what theme is and give some of the most common themes in kids' stories.

Disclaimer: I did copy this from pinterest so if you've seen one that looks like this... I copied it.
