IDENTIFYING MAIN IDEA

THURSDAY-8.7.2011-The main idea of a passage is the thought that is present from the beginning to the end. In finding the main idea, ask yourself these what idea is common to most of the text?, what is the idea that relates the parts to the whole?, what opinion do all the parts support?  

Paragraphs usually have 2 types of sentences that aree a topic sentence, which contains the main idea, and one or more detail sentences which support, prove, provide more information, explain, or give examples. Today in our class we were given a paper and watch some video such as ogy and the cockroach,hari raya advertisement, family potret by Pink.Then after we finished watching this video, we were supposed discuss in our group what the main idea in the video and write on the paper given. Then we write on the whiteboard to compare with others. The best main idea will be given the highest mark.
