Theme Worksheet (Matching) ELA-Literacy.RL.7.2: Students match themes like Courage and Hope to their definitions.

Let me work through this matching exercise step by step.

I need to match each theme (A-I) with its correct message (1-9).

Step 1: Let me analyze each theme and find the best match.

A. Courage - This means being brave, facing fears
- Looking at the messages: "Face your fears and don't be afraid" (#5) matches perfectly

B. Hope - This means believing things will get better, having faith
- "Believe in something" (#6) fits well with hope

C. Friendship - This is about friends supporting each other
- "Stand by your friend in good and bad times" (#1) is clearly about friendship

D. Peace - This is the absence of conflict or violence
- "The opposite of violence" (#3) directly describes peace

E. Loyalty - This means being faithful and standing up for someone/something
- "Stand up for someone or something" (#8) shows loyalty

F. Perseverance - This means not giving up, continuing despite difficulties
- "Don't give up" (#2) is exactly what perseverance means

G. Dedication - This means sharing interests and committing to something together
- "Share your common interests and passions" (#7) relates to dedication

H. Honor - This means showing respect
- "Pay respect to someone or something" (#9) defines honor

I. Remembrance - This means remembering people
- "Remember those in your life" (#4) is clearly about remembrance

Step 2: Let me verify all matches are used correctly:
- A → 5 ✓
- B → 6 ✓
- C → 1 ✓
- D → 3 ✓
- E → 8 ✓
- F → 2 ✓
- G → 7 ✓
- H → 9 ✓
- I → 4 ✓

All themes and messages are matched once each. The logic checks out!
