List everything you know about central ideas. • Must be stated as a sentence. • The most important point the writer tries to make about a topic. • Sometimes the central idea is not stated – you have to make an inference. • Central idea should cover the whole text ( or whole paragraph, or section) not a specific sentence.
What are supporting details? • Facts, examples, descriptions, etc. that tell us more about the central idea. • Supporting details are specifc.
Define introduce, illustrate and elaborate • Introduce – the first time the writer brings up an event or idea. • Illustrate – the writer gives a fact or example to help the reader understand the event or idea • Elaboration – the writer goes beyond a basic explanation and vividly, specifically describes the event or idea. (Details about details!!)
What is an inference? • When you have to take what the text says and combine what you know about the ideas to make an educated guess. • An inference is something that the writer doesn’t come out and tell us, but we can figure it out based on the information we have.
