Title: Main Idea
Author: Beth Ann White
Subject: Literacy {reading and writing}
Grade Level: 3rd
Common Core     CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.2

State Standards:   CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.3.2
Lesson Goals: Using the powerpoint presentation, students will identify the main idea and supporting details in several passages. Then students will write their own stories, about an event that took place in their lives paying special attention to the main idea and supporting details.
Materials Needed: Smart Board, copies of Powerpoint (in a larger font), chart paper, whiteboards, Main Idea worksheet
INSTRUCTIONAL LESSON METHODS & ASSESSMENT
Anticipatory Set: 
1. Get the class settled on the carpet and tell them a story I made up about something that happened to me. I will include a main idea and supporting details. Establish main ideas by asking my students what they think the main idea of my story is, and why it is important to the rest of the story. On chart paper, I will write down the students responses to hang in the room for future reference.Then I will read the students the definition of the main idea and supporting details.

2. After the video, I will have students transition back to their desks where I will give each student a copy of the powerpoint and we will read several passages from the presentation together and students will choose the main idea and supporting details in each. Students will write their choice down on their whiteboards and share with the class.

3. When the students have discussed the powerpoint and understand the importance of the main idea and supporting details, students will then separate into groups and discuss possible stories they could write about themselves, paying special attention to the main idea and supporting details.
4. Students will then come back to the group and we will talk about some of their ideas, and other students will narrow down what they want to write about later on in the lesson.

1.1   Customize the display of information
I provided each student with a copy of the PowerPoint presentation
4.1 Provide varied ways to respond
My students will be able to respond to questions in a written or verbal manner
8.2 Vary levels of challenge and support
When my higher level students have chosen 3 supporting details, I will challenge them to choose 2 more details for their writing assignment.
1.2   Provide alternatives for visual information
I put the book up on the document camera so that everyone could see
6.2 Support Planning & Strategy Development
When students break into groups, they will brainstorm what they are going to write about and plan.
8.3 Foster collaboration and communication
When students are in groups, I will encourage them to discuss their writing pieces


Introduce and Model New Knowledge
1. To allow my students the chance to demonstrate what they have learned/are learning about main idea, I will read Junie B. Jones and the Turkeys We Have Loved and Eaten (and Other Thankful Stuff) by Barbara Park. Before we read the book, we will go over the vocabulary in the story that students might not have heard before or may not understand in that story. I will also pass out the Main Idea worksheet I copied off so that students can write the main idea and 3 supporting details down while we read.We will also put the book up on the document camera and look at the pictures and read the story so that everyone can see.

2. After I finish reading the book, the students and I will discuss the main idea and some supporting details that they wrote down on their main idea worksheets and we will talk about what they thought was the main idea and what were some important supporting details to them. We will also talk about why those supporting details were important to each individual student (I might have some students that put similar details down, but for the most part each student will think a different detail  is   important.)

2.1 Define vocabulary and symbols
Before we read the story, the students and I will discuss any words that they might not understand quite yet
4.3 Integrate assistive technologies
I will project the book up on the document camera and will use the microphone so that my students will hear the discussion and story.
7.1 Increase individual choice and autonomy
Students will be encouraged to choose different supporting details from the story to complete their worksheet
2.4 Provide cross-linguistic understanding
Discuss words students might not understand in the context of the story, but normally would.
6.3 Facilitate Managing Information and Resources
I will provide my students with a worksheet to manage their thoughts for further discussion
7.3 Reduce threats and distractions
Students who are bothering others and causing a distraction will have to finish the assignment on their own.

Guided Practice
1. As the students discuss supporting details from their worksheets, I will write them on the Smartboard in case someone did not hear what another student was saying.
2. Students then will think back to their group work from earlier in the lesson and decide what event they want to write about happening in their life along with three supporting details.
3. I will pass out to each student two pieces of different colored construction paper along with a pair of scissors and three pieces of yarn.
4.  When each student has the proper materials, I will introduce the "Main Idea Mobile" project.
5. Each student will write their main idea and three supporting details on a sheet of notebook paper so that I can check what they are writing about before they complete their final copy.
6. When they have been checked off, the students will begin writing their main idea on one piece of construction paper and the three supporting details on the other piece of construction paper.
7. After the students have completed that task, I will come around and punch holes in the main idea strip of paper and the supporting detail papers so that students can tie them together.


2.2 Clarify syntax and structure
I will provide my own example of the main idea mobile so that students have a model to go by
4.2 Provide varied ways to interact with materials
Students will  interact with different materials while constructing their mobiles.
7.2 Enhance relevance, value, and authenticity
Students will complete a relevant project to help them understand the concept of main idea and details.
3.4 Support memory and transfer
I will encourage students to remember their life events from earlier and write them on their main idea mobile
5.2 Provide appropriate tools for composition and problem-solving
Students will be given all the materials they need to complete their mobiles.  
8.4 Increase mastery-oriented feedback
 When I check the students work before they complete their project, I will help them understand any concepts they don’t understand.


Independent Practice
1. When students have completed their "Main Idea Mobile", we will have a writer's theatre where students present their mobiles to the class.
2. Students will then be given a sheet of paper where they can self assess their mobile and presentation, listing details about what they would have, or could have done differently.
3. Students will then discuss with a partner what they would have done differently on their presentation and mobile.
