  1. Supporting Details 10 Steps - THREE

  2. Supporting Details Supporting details are reasons, examples, facts, steps, or other kinds of evidence that explain a main idea. The major details explain and develop the main idea. In turn, the minor details help fill out and make clear the major details.

  3. Supporting Details In Chapter 2 you worked on the most important reading skill—finding the main idea. A closely related reading skill is locating supportingdetails—the added information that is needed for you to make sense of a main idea. Three techniques to help you study notes on main ideas and their supporting details: • Outlining • Mapping • Summarizing

  4. Outlining Preparing an outline of a passage will help you understand and see clearly the relationship between a main idea and its supporting details. Outlines start with a main idea, followed by major supporting details. Sometimes there will be a level of minor details as well.

  5. Outline Example Main idea: Studies reveal several reasons why some children become bullies. Major detail: 1. a certain combination of size and personality Minor details: Bigger, more aggressive children may dominate their smaller, quieter peers. Major detail: 2. Overexposure to violent TV Minor details: By age 10, a child has watched thousands of acts of violence on TV, including murder. Major detail: 3. Exposure to real violence.

  10. Summarizing A summary is the reduction of a large amount of information to its most important points. Summarizing often involves two steps: • Select one example from several that might be given. Which example you select is up to you, as long as it makes the term clear for you. • Condense the example if it’s not already very brief. TIP -- A definition of a key term followed by one condensed example is a very useful way to take notes. –Peer Group Activity: 10 Steps Pg. 117 Practice 3 (Journal)
