Your friend doesn't have time to hear book, but you can tell you friend in a few sentences what the book is about. What's it all about? The answer to this question is the main idea. The main idea refers to what a paragraph or an article is about. "Main" means what is important, or key, the heart of the matter. "Idea" means the thought, the thesis or the topic. Direct Instruction Teacher will show a powerpoint presentation on main idea. This powerpoint is interactive and will require that the students pay close attention and provide answers to questions. It will show them how to identify main idea and provide them with practice on itentifying it. Guided Practice The direct Instruction will collide with the guided practice because students will be practicing how to identify main idea in the powerpoint. Independent Practice In groups or independently students will work on identifying the main idea practice exercises. Closing Using the paragraph you wrote for do now, identify the main idea. If you do not have a main idea - clearly rewrite one ensuring that your other three sentences support the main idea. Grade check |
