Description: This Boom Cards deck features 10 interactive cards that weave together a single, cohesive story about building a community garden. Rather than focusing on one theme, the deck's mini-stories each highlight a different theme, showing how they connect to form a larger narrative. Students will follow a group of friends as they transform a neglected lot, learning about initiative, collaboration, perseverance, patience, responsibility, resilience, ingenuity, generosity, community, and legacy. The final cards reinforce how all these small themes connect to a bigger message. This deck is a great way for students to practice identifying theme in short passages while seeing how different themes can connect and build on one another.
