Description

This lesson helps students identify the main idea and key details in informational texts. Using engaging texts such as A Day in the Life of a Police Officer by Linda Hayward, students practice finding the big idea of a text and supporting it with important details. They also retell information in their own words to strengthen understanding. Through discussion, highlighting, and structured activities, the lesson builds comprehension skills and encourages students to think about what a text is really about and how details support meaning.
