Theme Statement Review: Round 1

tldr; Some good starts, several missteps. Plenty of flaws to build away from.
Here is the document with the full collection of theme statements generated on 8/16.
The review conversation varied class by class, so here are some general take-aways:

• Mark the sentence M if it is a moral, and not a theme.
• Label the sentence Def. if it is a simple definition and not a theme (see the very 1st bullet point)
• Label the sentence Summary if the sentence is plot summary, and not a theme. (Please observe the first 4 bullet points in the 7th pd box, if you require clarification)
• Don't ever use "you"
• Don't ever use "can+(verb)" if all you need is (verb)
