Thematic Narratives

Students read brief personal narrative moments and match each one with the theme that best reflects its deeper meaning. They analyze how actions, choices, and challenges reveal messages such as courage, responsibility, hope, or friendship. This worksheet helps students understand how short narrative moments can express broader life lessons. It also strengthens their ability to infer themes and connect specific details to abstract ideas, an essential skill in narrative reading and writing.
