From Story to Society

This worksheet asks students to read a short adapted literary passage and determine its central theme. They then connect the theme to a real-world issue, analyzing how the fictional message relates to modern problems such as climate change or deforestation. Students explain how the issue shows the same lesson expressed in the passage, emphasizing thematic relevance today. They evaluate the importance of understanding this connection and reflect on possible solutions. The activity supports deep reading and encourages application of ideas beyond the text. By linking literature to current issues, students develop critical thinking and social awareness.
