After reviewing the materials we have discussed in previous classes, I will explain to students that we are going to read about
butterflies. I will tell them that we have four sentences and we must pick out the main ideas and details I will read the students a
new passage. I will explain that we have five options. One is our main idea and three others are the details. One of them is
wrong. Before I show students the examples, I will ask students what they think the article is about. What do they think the main
idea is. I will write these ideas down on the board. I will then ask students what they think the details are. Do they support the
main idea? I will then read the sentence choices to the students. I will show them on the overhead. I will ask students if they can
find the main idea. Is it similar to the ideas we wrote on the board? Why do you think this is the main idea? Once we have agreed
on what the main idea is I will glue it to the correct box. I will then read the other four sentences. I will remind students that one of
the sentences is wrong. I will also remind students that details support the main idea and helps show why the main idea is true. I
will select students to give me what sentences they think are details. We will complete the chart. I will then explain to students
that I have another passage. I want them to try to do this on their own. I will have the paper passer pass these out. I will have the
glue stick passer pass out the glue. Once every one has their paper I will read the passage aloud once. I will then read the
sentence choices aloud reminding students that one of the choices is wrong. I will then tell students they may cut out the
sentences and glue them where they think they go. I will collect papers when they are complete.
