Objective: I understand what it means to find theme in a work, and I can identify one for "Death and the Miser" to reveal Meaning of the Work as a Whole (MOWAW).
Agenda:

Entry Task: MC#6
Continue with Chaucer and Middle Ages prezi, slide 31
Theme: What it is; what it not.

Identifying the Theme in Five Steps

- Theme Litmus Test
  - Is the theme supported by evidence from the work itself?
  - Are all the author's choices of plot, character, conflict, and tone controlled by this theme?
Once you are sure of your theme, write it on the poster, point to the elements in the painting that reveal your MOWAW.
Review possible themes presented as a class.
Exit Task: Make sure you have a theme/mowaw next to your picture in your notebook. Erase your notes off the color picture for the next class please.
