The video tutorial explains the difference between a topic and a theme in a story. A topic is a one-word subject summarizing the story, while a theme is a universal lesson implied by the author. The video provides examples of topics and explains how to identify themes using a theme finding sentence. It emphasizes that themes are applicable to multiple stories and encourages viewers to determine the lesson the author wants to convey. The tutorial concludes with an invitation to contact the teacher for further questions.
