Using a fluency passage, have students identify the 3-5 best supporting details and have them partner/group share their responses.
They write the main idea of the story/text onto the trunk and then create branches with details/facts that support that main idea. Students place their statements in the appropriate columns and as a class you double check for correctness. Or, you can have a T-chart with the headings “Story Detail” and “Does Not Belong”. You can play “Musical Partners”, where students pair up with various classmates, read their statement and have the partner decide if it’s a detail or not. There are a variety of ways you can finish this activity. This sentence is either a detail of the story, or not. After reading a story, students write down a sentence on a strip of paper. A variation of “Does It Belong” involves students creating the “detail statements”.This is also an easy activity to incorporate into a small group center for added practice. ND = The Big Bad Wolf likes to dance.) Students can give thumbs up/down depending on whether the detail belongs or not. D = The first Little Pig builds his house out of straw. (Example – The Three Little Pigs – MI = The Little Pigs build houses and try to stay safe from the Big Bad Wolf. After reading a story, identify the main idea and then come up with statements that are either a detail or not. You can play “Does It Belong” with your students.It may also be the lesson that an author wants you learn from the text. Many consider this the “big idea” of the story and can be described in a word or two. The central message of the story is the main point that the author wants you to remember. Main idea and details are important in all types of texts (literature and informational), as well as in writing.
The details are those statements that support (go along with) the main idea. The main idea is defined as the central point or big picture of a story or informational text.
