Lesson 2: English
Welcome!
Today you are going to learn:
- What a topic is
- What a main idea is
- What a theme is
- How to tell them apart
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to look at a passage and identify all three.
Lesson 2: English
Part 1: What Is a Topic?
A topic is what a passage is about.
Topics are usually:
- One word
- Two words
- A short phrase
Examples:
- Friendship
- School
- Soccer
- Family
- Courage
- Piano Practice
Topics are broad.
Quick Check #1
Which answer is a topic?
Show Answer
C. Studying
A topic is usually a short word or phrase.
Quick Check #2

Friendship is the broad subject.
Quick Check #3
Which answer is a topic?
Show Answer
A. Teamwork
It is the broad subject.
Lesson 2: English
Part 2: What Is a Main Idea?
A main idea tells us what happened or what the author is saying about the topic.
Main ideas are usually complete sentences.
Examples
If the topic of a passage is Piano Practice, the main idea could be:
Or if the topic is Friendship, the main idea could be:
Or if the topic is Organization, the main idea could be:
Notice: These are complete sentences. They tell us what happened. They are much more specific than a topic.
Quick Check #1
Which answer is a main idea?
Show Answer
B. A student improves her piano skills through daily practice.
Because it tells us what happened.
Quick Check #2
Which answer is a main idea?
Show Answer
B. A girl makes a new friend by showing kindness.
Because it tells us what happened.

Because it tells us what happened.
Lesson 2: English
Part 3: What Is a Theme?
A theme is the lesson or message we learn from a passage.
Themes are usually complete sentences.
If the main idea is:
The theme could be:
If the main idea is:
The theme could be:
If the main idea is:
The theme could be:
Notice: Themes are not about one specific character. Themes are lessons that apply to many situations.

Show Answer

Because it is a lesson that applies beyond one story.
Quick Check #3
Which answer is a theme?
Show Answer
C. Organization can help people become more successful.
Because it is a lesson that applies beyond one story.
Lesson 2: English
Part 4: How Is a Theme Different From a Main Idea?
Many students confuse main ideas and themes because both are usually complete sentences.
Main Idea answers: What happened?
Theme answers: What lesson did we learn?
Passage: Jordan forgot his homework several times. After he started using a planner, he became much more organized and stopped missing assignments.
Main Idea: Jordan became more organized by using a planner.
Theme: Organization can help people become more successful.
The main idea is specifically about Jordan. The theme applies to everyone.
Passage: Maya practiced piano every day for two months. At first she made many mistakes, but by the recital she could play the song confidently.
Main Idea: Maya improved her piano skills through practice.
Theme: Consistent effort can lead to improvement.
A Helpful Trick
Ask yourself: Does my answer include the character’s name or only describe what happened in this story? If yes, it is probably a main idea.
Does my answer teach a lesson that could apply to many people? If yes, it is probably a theme.
Lesson 2: English
Part 5: Let's Look At A Passage Together
Step 1
What is the topic?
Answer: Piano Practice
Why? Because that is what the passage is about.
Step 2
What is the main idea?
Answer: Maya improved her piano skills through practice.
Why? Because that is what happened in the passage. The answer is specifically about Maya.
Step 3
What is the theme?
Answer: Consistent effort can lead to improvement.
Why? Because that is the lesson we learn from Maya’s experience. The lesson could apply to many people, not just Maya.

Lesson 4: Math
Part 4: How Are They Related?
This is the most important part. All three can represent the same amount.
1/2 = 0.5 = 50%
1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
3/4 = 0.75 = 75%
Helpful Trick: Fraction → Decimal → Percent. Same value. Different format.
Quick Check 1
