Last week, in reading, we found the main idea and supporting details in various texts. A main idea is what a story or other piece of writing is mostly about. Each paragraph can have a main idea. Supporting details are pieces of information that support, or back up, the main idea.
Mrs. Johnson showed us an easy way to organize the information we find when we read. She drew a huge fish on chart paper. On the fish, she created a backbone, which is the main idea because the main idea is the backbone of a passage. Then, all the bones coming out from the backbone were the supporting details. All of the supporting details MUST support the main idea. If they do not support the main idea, you probably have not found the main idea! Once Mrs. Johnson modeled this for us, and she allowed volunteers to add details to the chart, we worked in groups to create our own main idea map with a test passage.
Selicia and Monique find the main idea and details, so they are better able to answer the test questions. Once your information is organized, it's easy to answer the questions!
Wonderful work from the whole class!
D'Aubriney and Brindarius worked hard on their main idea map.
Good job, Nacolby and Sabbion!Once again, Mrs. Johnson's class is hard at work ALL THE TIME!!! Come by and visit soon!
