What is the moral of the story?
What does this story teach us?
What is the life lesson the story tells us?
Today I read the story Sleeping Ugly. Think princess, fairy, evil sleeping spell, and a prince's kiss as the wake up call. Your typical fairy tale with a fun twist. Well after I read the story the students were supposed to respond in their RRJ (reading response journal) about what the theme of the story could be.
Here are a few examples:
"It's what is on the inside that counts."
"Don't judge a book by its cover."
But my personal favorite...
"Don't marry someone, if you don't know their name."
While this is a very true and wise statement, I don't think this was a main and hard core theme of the story. But yet, I can some how see his wisdom through the comment. Very wise.
