C. The moral or lesson of a story

Angie loved to draw very colorful pictures, but she lost her own markers, so she borrowed her teacher’s. The school day was ending, but Angie wanted to keep coloring, so she took the teacher’s markers home and lost them in her messy room. She came back to school the next day and wanted to color again, so she asked the teacher for more markers. The teacher replied, “Sure, Angie, but this is my last pack.” Angie said she would be careful, but by the end of the day the markers were scattered all over the floor and the custodian swept them up and disposed of them. When Angie came in the next day, she asked the teacher for more markers, but she was disappointed to find that there weren’t any more. “I don’t know where all of my markers went,” said the teacher, “but I don’t have them.” Angie had to draw her pictures with only a pencil. What is the THEME of this story?

If you are not responsible, there will be consequences.

Be kind to others, and they will be kind to you.

Jenny hated reading class. She didn’t understand point of view or figurative language, and not knowing how to do the work frustrated her. She asked the teacher for help, but he spoke so fast and used such big words that she still couldn’t understand. The teacher asked if she understood, and she nodded her head, but she didn’t. Jenny’s friend Katie knew that Jenny was having trouble, and, rather than just giving Jenny all of the answers, Katie explained to Jenny how to solve the problems. Katie spoke clearly and at Jenny’s level, and Jenny was happy that she finally learned how to do the work. Later in the week, Katie was having trouble in math class. She didn’t understand coordinates and was really frustrated. Seeing that Katie was having problems, Jenny, who understood math very well, taught Katie coordinates. Both girls made honor roll that quarter. What is the THEME of this story?

With teamwork, you can accomplish anything.

You should be modest and not brag.

First impressions are lasting impressions.

Bats pollinate countless tropical plants, and they are essential for regrowing cleared or damaged rainforests because they scatter the seeds of "pioneer plants" that begin the restoration process. And a new study shows that insect-eating bats save farmers in the United States more that $3.5 billion a year in reduced pesticide use because they eat moths and other insects that destroy crops. But maybe the most important reason to protect bats is that we need to conserve wildlife species so future generations can appreciate the wonders of nature just as we can. CITE TEXTUAL EVIDENCE to support the statement that bats are helpful to farmers.

"Bats save farmers in the United States more than $3.5 billion a year in reduced pesticide use because they eat moths and other insects that destroy crops."

"Bats scatter the seeds of 'pioneer plants.'"

"Bats pollinate countless tropical plants."

"Bats are essential for regrowing cleared or damaged rainforests."

All floods are not alike. Some floods develop slowly, sometimes over a period of days. In some instances, people are well aware a flood is coming and can try to do things to prepare like using sand bags, getting to higher elevation, or evacuating if necessary. But flash floods can develop quickly, sometimes in just a few minutes and without any visible signs of rain. Flash floods often have a dangerous wall of roaring water that carries rocks, mud, and other debris and can sweep away most things in its path. People are often unprepared for flash floods. CITE TEXTUAL EVIDENCE to support the statement that it's not always easy to tell when a flood will occur.

"But flash floods can develop quickly, sometimes in just a few minutes and without any visible signs of rain."

"Some floods develop slowly, sometimes over a period of days."

"Flash floods often have a dangerous wall of roaring water."

When her father examined her blurred images and aimless shots, he advised Michelle to look through the lens and think about what the resulting picture would look like.
