Main Idea • The main idea is the big point (big picture) that the writer is communicating to the reader. • Can be an opinion, argument, or general statement about something. • Often the reader can find the main idea by just looking at the title or at the first paragraph of an article. • For example, a passage titled: “Why Doctors Deserve More Dollars” will include reasons for that idea.

  17. Main Idea “Hurricane” Article • Most last less than a week • They die out when they hit cooler water – no more “heat engine” Evidence/Details • How long?

  18. Today’s 9/11/13 goals Finish Two-Column Notes for “Hurricanes” SAR Time

  19. Today’s 9/13/13goals Read “Tornadoes” article – students help taking Two Column Notes Together

  20. “Tornadoes” • air that spins in a circle from a thunderstorm and goes down to the ground • tornadoes are very dangerous, they can destroy buildings, uproot trees and even pick up and move cars What is a Tornado? • an average of 1,000 tornadoes are reported nationally each year

  21. “Tornadoes” • most tornadoes are created from thunderstorms • to form a tornado you need warm moist air and cool dry air to combine How do Tornadoes form? • when these air masses meet the air in the atmosphere is not stable

  24. Today’s 9/19/13 goals Read “Liquefaction” article Start 2-Column Notes - Individually SAR Reading time

  25. Solid to Liquid in the Blink of an Eye: Liquefaction

  26. T L E O Q A I U F C I N Solid to Liquid in the Blink of an Eye: • Process of changing a substance into a liquid What is liquefaction? • Occurs during earthquakes when sediments and groundwater are mixed and shaken = causes damage!

  27. T L E O Q A I U F C I What happens? N • If the ground below “liquefies” and the soil above can’t hold the buildings, they will sink. • Sometimes pressure causes the mixture of sand and water to erupt out of the ground like small volcanoes.

  28. T L E O Q A I U F C I N Solid to Liquid in the Blink of an Eye: Landslides • Liquefaction might be the cause of some landslides.

  29. T L E O Q A I U F C I N Solid to Liquid in the Blink of an Eye: What is being done to help prevent liquefaction? • Scientists are studying liquefaction to help reduce the damage it causes.
