Student Instructions
Create a storyboard that identifies a theme in The Cricket in Times Square.
Organize students into small, diverse groups for theme discussion circles. This gives every student a chance to share their ideas and listen to others, deepening their understanding of the novel’s themes.
Ask each group to agree on one theme they found most important in The Cricket in Times Square. Encourage respectful debate and justification. This builds consensus skills and critical thinking.
Invite students to list specific story events or character actions that support their chosen theme. Record all ideas, even if some seem less obvious. This helps students connect details to bigger ideas.
Have each group present their theme and examples. Encourage classmates to ask questions or add examples. This promotes active listening and broadens everyone’s perspective.
Assign a short reflection where each student writes how the chosen theme relates to their own life or the world today. This makes the lesson meaningful and personal.
The Cricket in Times Square features several themes, including friendship, loyalty, honesty, family, respect for elders, freedom, and home. Each theme is supported by events and character interactions throughout the novel.
Students can identify a theme by choosing a recurring idea in the story and supporting it with specific examples or events from the text, such as acts of friendship or demonstrations of loyalty between characters.
A key example of friendship is when Tucker Mouse uses most of his savings to help Chester after Chester accidentally eats the Bellini's $2 bill, showing care and support among friends.
Teachers can ask students to create a storyboard. Students pick a theme, write it as the title, find three examples from the book, illustrate them, and write a brief description for each example.
Exploring themes helps students deepen their understanding of the story, connect with characters, and recognize life lessons, making their reading more meaningful and engaging.
