*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 (Pink) and the most important supporting detail (Orange) 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!
