Nivel Beginner

This class will begin with a 3 minute do now activity to introduce students to the topic for the class (main idea). Once the do now is over, we will briefly review it and then move on to the mini-lesson. This lesson is no longer than ten minutes and follows the I do, we do, you do format. I will model reading a short text and using details from the text to identify a main idea. Then, using the main idea I identified, I will model reviewing the multiple choice question responses to find which option most closely matches my own main idea. After this, the class will have a few minutes to work on another example problem before we go over the correct response, asking students for input on which answer they chose and why. Once the mini-lesson has concluded, students will work on their own assignment of several main idea based questions. During the last five minutes of class, students should review their answers with each other and try to figure out which answers are correct. Students will then be assigned homework based on finding the main idea (this homework is voluntary so that if students choose to do so, they can continue practicing this skill once this class is over).

Orientación para padres

The content in this class is appropriate for all students and does not contain any potentially upsetting material. Students who have not completed middle school are not recommended to take this class as the reading level of the text may be too advanced for them.

I have been teaching English language arts for four years to grades 6, 8, 9, and 10. The skill of finding the main idea of a text is universal in these classes and is taught to every grade level. In addition to this experience, I am also an SAT/ACT test prep tutor at a private tutoring company and have been doing so for two years. I spend a lot of time with these students practicing the skill of finding the main idea using a variety of texts.
