Organizing Main Ideas and Supporting Details

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Pupils read given information and identify the main ideas and specific detail of the story. In groups, they read a historical title and create a "book talk" for each one, summarizing the story. In addition, students create a PowerPoint presentation, and a concept map of the story. Pupils pretend they traveled in time as they share their presentation of their historical event with the class.
