1 Main Ideas and Supporting Details Distinguish the main idea and supporting details in expository text GETTING STARTED LEARNING OBJECTIVES In this lesson, the student will determine the main idea of a text identify details that support the main idea of a text Tell students to think about why it is important to figure out a text s main idea and to find the supporting details Guide them to understand that knowing which details are most important can help them find out what a passage is about and learn more about a story or an article s main idea TAP STUDENTS PRIOR KNOWLEDGE Tell students they will be working on a lesson about main ideas and details Review with students what a main idea and supporting detail is (A main idea is what an article or story is mostly about A supporting detail is a piece of information that tells more about a story or an article s main idea) Then ask students about the difference between main ideas and detail statements (A main idea tells what the whole story or paragraph is all about A detail just tells one piece of information about the main idea) Ask students to consider that not every detail in a passage is important to understand the main idea of the passage Part of understanding a passage s main idea is distinguishing which details best support it from details that do not support the main idea or are unimportant to the outcome of the story To illustrate this point, write the following sentences on the board: Last week, James learned how to knit He learned from his teacher He knitted a scarf for his mom The scarf was red Ask students to identify the sentence that states the main idea ( Last week, James learned how to knit ) Next, ask students to name two details that support the main idea (He learned from his teacher and he knitted a scarf for his mom) Finally, ask students to identify the detail among the sentences that is unimportant to the main idea (The color of the scarf does not matter to the main idea) Using the Interactive Whiteboard You can project each lesson page on the IWB to enhance instruction Here are some general suggestions for each part of the lesson Introduction: Use the highlighter tool to draw attention to each vocabulary word Modeled Instruction: As you guide students through the process of answering the question that follows the reading passage, have them use the pen tool to fill in missing text or to follow directions for circling and underlining text Guided Practice: Encourage students to use the IWB tools to highlight, circle, or underline key words and details that will help them answer the questions that follow the reading passage 1
2 Introduction Read and discuss the introduction on page 1 with students to familiarize them with finding the main idea and supporting details in a passage Identify a story and a nonfiction text that the class has recently read and enjoyed With student help, identify each passage s main idea and supporting details Then, use the passages as examples as you discuss the points below You may wish to use an overhead projector or interactive whiteboard (IWB) to display the passages In addition, you may want to encourage students to identify the main idea and supporting details in various passages in their own books Main Idea Does the author tell you the main idea? In the article, does the author say what the passage is mostly about? In the story, does the author tell you the big thing or things that happen? Tell students that authors of nonfiction texts often organize their writing by stating a main idea at the beginning of a paragraph or section and then providing details to support it In fiction texts, the main idea includes the main parts of the plot, or the story s big events Details Why did the author put these details in the passage? What do the details tell you more about? Explain that details come in different shapes and sizes Some details are things that happened in a story Other details are facts in an article When an author includes many facts, he or she is usually supporting an idea about a topic Order of Events Which events happened first? Which happened next? Which happened last? Tell students that some details tell about the order of events in a story or article Explain that being able to put the events in order can help readers better understand how one event leads to the next Main Ideas and Supporting Details Introduction In this lesson, you will learn how to find the main idea of a passage The main idea is what an article or story is mostly about You will also learn about details Supporting details tell more about a passage s main idea Imagine you tell a friend, I just a read a story about a robot who saves the world Guess what? You ve just told your friend the story s main idea All passages have a main idea and details The main idea is the big idea of the passage The details are the smaller ideas that support the big idea Some details in stories tell you what happens For example, a boy takes his kite to the park That is a detail Other details tell you what things look like, where things happen, and who does what You can also look at the details to figure out which events happen first, next, and last Many details in articles are facts Facts are bits of information California is called the Golden State That s a fact Look at these charts to help you think about details in fiction and nonfiction The chart on the left shows supporting details for an article The chart on the right shows supporting details for a story Sharks are dangerous (nonfiction main idea) Lisa wins a contest (fiction main idea) Supporting Details Supporting Details They are hunters She makes a painting They can swim very fast She enters it into a contest They are hard to see in water The judge says that she is the winner 1 Distinguish the main idea and supporting details in expository text 2
