Day 1
T- Class!
S- Yes!
T- Today we are going to talk about finding the main idea and key details in expository text. Which means, we will read factual information or articles and discuss what the information is mainly about.
Students will be asked to tell me what main idea is and what key details are.
T- Yes, the main idea is what the text is mainly about. For instance, if we read an article about how fast gazelles run, the main idea would not be gazelles, that is the topic, the main idea would be how fast gazelles run. Key details would be the information that supports the main idea of how fast gazelles run.
We are going to be practicing finding the main idea by reading short paragraphs that are printed on these cards. We will read …show more content…

Guiding Questions:
How can we determine the main idea of the text?
What topic keeps occurring in the text?
What details in the text supports the main idea?
How can you organize the main idea and key details into a summary of the article?
Students will then have time to think about what we have read and will be given a main idea graphic organizer worksheet to fill out. The chart will ask for a main idea and for four key details.
Students will be used to using this graphic organizer because they are required to fill one of these out before they take and AR test. Also, by mid school year students are familiar with main idea and key details.
T- Now that your organizer is filled out lets go over it.
I will project a copy of the article on my document camera along with the main idea graphic organizer.

    One of the first steps that I had taken when I approached this weeks assignment was to determine how the article had fit into my research topic. While it was difficult as I remained intent on finding the articles that dealt with Transnational Criminal Organizations and Terror groups, the search was made a bit easier with the APUS library. After I had located the articles I believed I was going to be using one of the next steps was to determine the articles content, I had questioned the content as well as what the author was trying to convey. As was described in the lesson this week as well as seeing the example given, I made an outline as well as placed them in my own words. What my criteria was in order to determine what was appropriate was, the keyword as well as content.
