Central Idea Main Idea Central Message Theme PRINTABLE BUNDLE

Everything you need to teach your Middle School students to determine Central Idea and Theme is in this easy-to-use and interactive Printable Bundle!

Objective: Middle School students will learn how to determine a theme and/or central idea in 4 steps and then have an opportunity to practice with new text, take a quiz and then participate in remediation or enrichment before taking a final assessment.

In this resource, you'll receive ALL of these materials:

✅ A link to a video to use as an introduction to the unit with a discussion guide provided in the included teacher script.

✅ Editable lesson plans (in bonus file)

✅ Day by day Teacher Script (in bonus file)

✅ 2 sets of Pixanotes® (scaffolded visual notes) that come in 4 versions but all with the same content so you can differentiate content for both central idea AND theme.

Level 1: Fully printed content and pre-printed pictures

Level 2: Fully printed picture flaps and fill in the blanks for students

Level 3: Pre-printed content and picture flaps that need to be positioned by the

student.

Level 4: Fill-in-the-blanks for content and picture flaps that need to be positioned

by the student.

✅ 2 Processing Menus ( 1 for central idea and 1 for theme) so you can differentiate the process.

✅ Task Cards for extra practice

✅ 2 Quizzes

✅ 2 Enhancement menus ( 1 for central idea and 1 for theme) for students who score less than 80% on the quiz and need re-teaching so you can differentiate products.

✅ 2 Videos for re-teaching.

✅ 2 Enrichment menus ( 1 for central idea and 1 for theme) for students who score 80% or higher on the quiz - which again allows you to differentiate products.

✅ A Final Assessment for Theme and Central idea

✅ Answer keys

PLUS: DIGITAL versions of both the theme and central idea notes!

➡️ EDITABLE lesson plans included in the Bonus File!
