This video tutorial guides students through the process of identifying themes in poetry. It begins with an introduction to the concept of theme and how it differs from the topic. The video then provides a series of poems for students to read and analyze, encouraging them to identify both the topic and theme of each poem. The tutorial concludes with an activity where students are tasked with writing their own poem, focusing on selecting a topic and theme before composing. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding the author's background and the interpretative nature of poetry.
