Assalamualaikum. Today we learned about Distinguishing
main ideas and supporting details. In general,
before trying to understand any reading passage, you must first
understand the topic of the passage. A topic is the subject of a whole passage. In
a reading passage, you may encounter topic sentences, which refer to
the main ideas of the paragraphs. If the main idea
is not explicitly stated, you will have to decide what writer wants you to know
about the paragraph. This is identifying the implied main idea of the paragraph. Supporting details, on the other hand, are sentences that support or
further explain the main idea. Usually, you will find two or three sentences
that help to explain, support, illustrate or describe the main idea in the
paragraph. Thats all for now. Sorry for the short explanation. Assalamualaikum.
