Teach young scholars how to determine the theme of a story, an insight the author wants to share with readers, with a lesson that uses Guy de Maupassant's "The Necklace" as an anchor text. Learners examine the internal and external conflicts in the story with dialectical journals, engage in a philosophical chars discussion, and then create a graphic that represents what they see as the theme of the short story.
