Presentation transcript:

 The purpose of the paragraph or text  All information in the text should connect to the main idea  Some information is not as important  Good readers identify key ideas

 Used to support the main idea  Often give examples or provide further explanations

1. Read the whole text. 2. Ask, “What is the author doing here?” 3. Pay extra attention to the first and last sentence.  You can also list the supporting details and think about how they are related  Be careful! Sometimes there is no main idea sentence. If that is the case, make one by using clues in the supporting details.

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first men to walk on the surface of the moon, but they were not the last. That was Gene Cernan, the last man to step off the lunar surface. In total there have been twelve men who have walked on the moon, all of whom had done so between 1969 and 1972, which is the most recent non-Michael Jackson moon walking.

You must comprehend the text.

Test writers may ask you: “Another good title for this passage would be…” It’s just a way of asking for the main idea.

1. Write the main idea for the passage. 2. List at least 3 details that support the main idea. 3. Create an appropriate title for the passage.

Nicki Minaj, rap phenomenon hailing from Queens, New York, has a new honor to add to her resume: top searched Halloween costume based on a person for the 2011 season. Nicki edged out other popular costume searches such as Charlie Sheen. Though no commercial Nicki Minaj costume kit is available, there are a lot of helpful hints available online that show people how to get that “Nicki look.” The popularity of the Nicki Minaj costume search was only edged out by the Angry Birds costume search, which was the most searched for costume this year (2012).

The next time you get the sniffles, remember that it could be worse. SARS is an airborne sickness that killed around a thousand people on and after its discovery in AIDS is one of the most devastating illnesses in human history. It is estimated that there are over two million AIDS related deaths each year in the world. But perhaps the most infamous and devastating outbreak in history was the bubonic plague or Black Death, which is estimated to have killed 75 million people, or one-third of the population of Europe in the 14th century.
