Identify Main Idea Mini-Lesson (RI.2)

Remind students that the main idea can be expressed as a complete sentence that tells what a text is mostly about. Give them examples and non-examples, as necessary. (“This article is mostly about the Apollo mission” is not a main idea. “The article is about how the Apollo 11 astronauts made it to the moon and plans for astronauts to return to the moon” is a main idea.) Ask students to first identify the topic of the article. The topic is one or two words that tell who or what the article is about. After students identify the topic, ask them: What are we learning about this topic? A main-idea sentence will include the topic and what students are learning about it. This method can be applied to a paragraph, a section, or a whole text. Once students identify the main idea, ask: How do you know? This will help guide students to identifying supporting details.
