Literary Themes

Here is a set of posters I've made to help students recognize themes.  It includes many recurring literary themes.  I also accompanied each word with a symbol to help drive home meanings.  My students use this set of posters often as they are searching for great words to describe the theme of a passage or book. 

I created this set of posters to help my students realize the common themes among books.  Theme can be a difficult, abstract concept to grasp, and I've found that these posters help students communicate a book's theme more readily.  Oftentimes, the theme of a book can encompass many of these ideas, but these words act as a springboard for brainstorming themes!
