• RL6.1 Cite textual evidence to support what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text

RTI - A Day 11/16/17

NEW Article

Main Idea & Details

RI6.1 - Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

RI6.2 - Determine the central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions and judgements

Whole Group:

Read the article

*As we read I want you to think about these questions:

1. What is the Main (or central) Idea?

2. What evidence makes me think that?

Partner work:

Step 1 - Get together with a partner 

Step 2 - Reread through the article so you can figure out the main idea and the details. You may alternate paragraphs, or alternate sections as you read. Write small inferences and questions you have in the margin.

Step 3 - Underline the evidence from the text that supports your inference.

Step 4 - Look at the inferences you wrote about each section. At the end of your article write a global inference, or MAIN IDEA based on all your smaller inferences you already wrote. 

Step 5 - Complete the Quiz that goes with your article & Complete the Main Idea Graphic organizer. (Always write in complete sentences)

*** I will come around to each group during the last 10 minutes and ask:

1. What is the article about?

2. What is an inference you made?

3. What evidence led you to make that inference?

4. What is the main idea?
