Then, respond to the prompt below.

Be the teacher: For your main post, select any one of this week’s assigned stories and briefly identify and explain its central theme(s), but addressing your classmates and explaining it to them as if they are your students, and need the material explained to them in a professional but conversational tone- no stuffy “professor-speak” allowed! In your explanation, you might include a brief personal experience or example that helps illustrate your story’s theme, or the concept of theme in general. In other words, what is a theme you recognize in your own life, and how might you explain that to students? 

Then, at the bottom of your post, write at least one relevant, engaging discussion question about this week’s assigned literature/author. The question shouldn’t be purposefully confusing or difficult, nor should it be overly obvious or simplistic. Any question should require a short sentence or sentences to successfully answer- no multiple-choice, matching, fill-in-the-blank questions allowed.

Your main response should be at least 150 words.
