In this unit, students are learning to locate main idea when it is explicitly stated within a paragraph and main idea when it is inferred. As you connect main idea and supporting details, be certain to model how to determine main idea in two ways; 1. give students the details and have them determine the main idea, 2. give students the main idea and have them determine the supporting details.
