Turn & Talk: How can we summarize a story? What is a theme of a story?
Rewatch the Theme Brainpop Jr. video: https://jr.brainpop.com/readingandwriting/storyelements/theme/

We will take the quiz at the end of the video to review. Students will write the answer on their white boards
and then we will do a 3-2-1 SHOW, to check for each student’s understanding.
“Today you are going to choose a new story to read to complete a digital book talk on! You will be
choosing the book you want to read from our black reading bucket. After reading, you will summarize using
our Rainbow Retell Strategy (using S-W-B-S-T-F) and finding the theme. You will use the Rainbow Retell
Graphic Organizer to help you get all of your thoughts down. Then you will record on the Digital Book Talk
Activity on Seesaw”

the story together!
Display the Rainbow Retell Graphic Organizer on the board so it can be completed whole group. Have
students turn and talk to their partner about each element. Students will share their discussion and teacher
will record student responses on the graphic organizer.
Then, the teacher will pull up the seesaw activity, go over directions, and show students how to record their
Book Talk.

Students will choose one of the books from the black bucket to read. (a few books have more than one
copy) Some students may choose to read with a partner or independently.

Students will logon to Seesaw, go to their activities, and click add response to the Book Talk: Summary &
