LC: Identify the main ideas from one paragraph and summarise these.
Can you remember what we should look out for when searching for the main idea?
What is the paragraph about?
Let's take a look at the paragraph below.
Washing hands is very important to keep us healthy. When we play outside, our hands can get dirty with germs. Germs can make us ill, so we need to wash our hands regularly. We should wash our hands before eating, after using the toilet, and after playing. To wash our hands properly, we need soap and water. First, wet your hands, then rub the soap all over for at least 20 seconds. Finally, rinse off the soap and dry your hands with a clean towel. By washing our hands, we can stay safe and healthy!
Can you tell your talk partner what the main idea is?
Let's play a game!
Your teacher will put you in to groups of 3-4 and hand out a sentence each. Your group needs to decide if you have the main idea of the paragraph that your teacher is about to read.
Once, in a small village, there was a little girl named Emily. She loved her friends and wanted to make them happy. One day, Emily accidentally broke her friend Sam's toy. Instead of lying, she took a deep breath and told him the truth. "I broke your toy, Sam. I'm really sorry," she said. Sam was sad, but he appreciated Emily's honesty. They talked about how to fix the toy together. From that day on, Emily learned that telling the truth is always the best choice. It helps friends trust each other and makes everything better in the end.
Put your hand up if you think your group has the main idea!
Now, summarise this paragraph in your Reading Journals.
Remember to look at what the main idea is and find sentences that support the main idea.
