Read the article, "How Donald Duck and Peanuts Saved Trick-or-Treating"

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

1. What is each paragraph about?

2. What Questions do I have?

3. What parts do I not understand?

4. How many sections of information does this article have?

5. What is the Topic, or Main Idea?

6. What evidence makes me think that?

Step 1 - Read the Article

Step 2 - Reread the article. As we read Write small inferences, thoughts, and questions you have in the margin.

Step 3 - Underline evidence & important details

Step 4 - Highlight the topic sentence and the most important supporting detail in each category

Step 5 - Complete the Main Idea & Details Graphic Organizer.

• How many categories of information are there?
• What is the most important details/information in each category?
• Write down the most important detail/information from each category.
• Write the main idea. (Don't overlook the importance of the title in determining the main idea)

Have a great day!
