Theme Wrap-Up

Students read a short story about a community’s resilience and renewal, then identify the theme and explain its real-life relevance. Through a reflection prompt, learners connect the story’s message to personal or societal experiences. This activity integrates literary analysis with meaningful application, strengthening comprehension and reflective thinking. It helps students articulate how universal themes appear in everyday life.
