Answer:Think about the climax of your story. Describe the choice the protagonist makes to change the course of the conflict.
Explanation:
Answer:
To model how to find evidence of the main idea, reveal a short newspaper article and its headline (e.g., "Panda cub is ready for public debut" from Tween Tribune). Clarify that the headline is a main-idea sentence as it's what the passage is mostly about. Read aloud the article, pausing to highlight any reference to the panda, cub, ready, public, and debut (all the words from the headline). Any time one of those words--or a synonym--pops up, highlight it.
After reading through the entire article, it may look something like this. Now Think Aloud and justify how the evidence you've highlighted supports the original main-idea headline (e.g., key points are repeated in different words, they exist throughout the article, etc.). Repeat the process with a second short newspaper article and its headline. Facilitate students finding evidence of the main-idea headline.
Eventually, challenge students to do both. Students will read an entire article. Then, they will reread it, stopping to highlight the repetitious words, phrases, and details. Using those words and phrases, they will craft a main-idea sentence inferring what the article is mostly about. Then, all those highlighted details become the evidence to support their main idea.
It's useful because it gets you ahead in class. If you read ahead you are more likely to understand what your professor is teaching. It also helps if you unexpectedly get a large amount of homework. If you have read ahead it allows you to have more time doing labs or essays.
