Theme:
A theme is-
- A life long lesson/ moral message
- A big idea
- Something the audience/reader can connect to
- A real-world connection
- One or two sentences
What is a big idea?
A big idea must convey your unique perspective. You need to articulate to the audience why they should care enough about your perspective. It is a positive and moral message that conveys a life long lesson.
Theme: When things get bad, you need to rise from the ashes and be strong
The Big Idea: When I was making my phoenix, I
realized that the phoenix has very strong symbolism and that its immortality is
very significant. I then thought about what makes a phoenix so special. It can
rise from the ashes of its defeat, it can be reborn, showing that it will never
give up. It also uses fire as its weapon. Fire represents strength and warmth.
So I realized that a phoenix and its meaning actually goes much deeper than
just a bird with fire. It’s no coincidence that a phoenix can be seen in many
different tales and countries. I think we can all learn something from the
phoenix.
