This week we discussed the concept of supporting the main idea of a text by finding supporting details/evidence within a text. We made the analogy of a table being like this. The top of the table is the main idea and the legs are the supporting details by SUPPORTING the main idea. Students worked together to identify the main idea within an article and the locating the details to support it. Students then selected an article of their choice to practice this skill. Check out their responses on the following links to our padlets:
