Activity Overview


Themes, Symbols, and Motifs

In this activity, students will identify a theme and support the theme with evidence from the text. One theme is greed.


King Midas Theme Example

Greed

In the fable, Midas already has more gold than any other King, but he still wants more. After being warned that he would not be happy with his wish, he doesn’t hesitate or consider the possible results. The morning after meeting the fairy, he awakes eagerly to test out his powers; the King turns his bed, chair, table, and food into gold. It’s not until he turns his own daughter into gold that he realizes the price of his greed.
