Theme Statement: Is one sentence Voices author’s message about the subject. Ex: People overcome fear through courage. Does NOT give advice (avoid words like “should” and “don’t”) Is NOT a cliché. (NOT Don’t judge a book by its cover) Is NOT a command (NOT People should be courageous.) Is NOT a definition. (NOT Courage is being brave in the face of adversity.) Does not Include “you” or “I” (NOT You should overcome fear through courage.) Does not include characters from the story
