  4. 1.) Main Idea • The main idea of a text is the most important point that the writer makes. • Some facts and examples are important details that support the main idea and help you understand it. • Steps to finding the main idea: • Step 1. Read the passage carefully. • Step 2. Identify the topic of the passage (what's the passage about?). • Step 3: Ask yourself what you think the big idea is that the author is trying to tell you about that topic in the passage. • Step 4. See if the rest of the sentences in the passage refer to that big idea.

  5. 2.) Outlines and Summaries • A summary is a shortened version of an original text. • A good summary gives the main ideas and important details in a story. • An outline is a list of main ideas and important details that show the relationship between information. • _______________________________ A. ____________________________ B. ____________________________ • _______________________________ A. ____________________________ B. ____________________________
