Main Idea and Details

• Lets read page 150.
• When we look for the main idea of a selection, we
  look for what is implied as the most important
  idea. Supporting details tell us more about the
  main idea.
• Graphic organizers, such as charts and graphs,
  can help us recognize the main idea and tell the
  difference between it and the supporting details.

Main Idea and Details

• Lets read the first paragraph on p. 151 and look
  for the main ideas and supporting details.
• I think that this selection is all about
  Antarctica because all the paragraphs tell about
  this continent. I decided that the main idea of
  the first paragraph is that in Antarctica, thick
  ice covers the
• continent.

Main Idea, continued.

• A graphic organizer can help you see the
  difference between the main idea and the
  supporting details.

In some places, the ice is almost 3 miles thick.
