Bell Work:
1. Read silently
Notes:
The central idea is the main idea of a nonfiction text
Ask yourself after reading text - “What am I supposed to know now?” that will be the central idea
Nonfiction = real
Central ideas can be directly stated or implied through details, and readers need to infer the central idea
Infer = logical guess
Analyze = look at closely
Summarize = restate in shorter form
Analyzing the central idea means to identify it and look closely at it using text evidence
Sample Test Questions:
*Summarize two central ideas
*Analyze the central idea
*Explain two central ideas
*There can be more than one central idea in a text
*Each central idea gets its own paragraph
