{"Image DocumentName": "Skills Needed to Identify Main Idea", "Image ImageDescription": "Students must be able to: Identify the main Who and What of a text. Locate the most important details that support the main idea. Many times there will be more than 3 supporting details; however, we ask that students identify at least three. As well, teachers should help students find the more important details if they are only finding less prominent ones. Sometimes authors tell readers what their paragraphs or articles are about. When the author does this, he has stated the main idea. Normally, the main idea is the first or last sentence of a paragraph. Do authors always state the main idea? No, sometimes authors will imply their main ideas. It is important for students to know this and for teachers to select texts with the type of main idea they want to teach.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
