Realistic Fiction

that could really happen. It has
characters, a setting, and events that
make up the beginning, middle, and

has a
theme, or big idea about life. To
determine the theme:
• as you read, stop at different points
and ask yourself what the story is
about so far.
• connect events to find out how they
are related.
• after reading, ask yourself what message the author wants you to learn.
