To help reinforce main idea and supporting details, students created main idea bags. To do this, students first decided what they wanted their bag's main idea to be about. Students were able to choose anything. Then, students needed to find or draw 3 to 4 objects that would be details to the bag's main idea. We learned that the main idea, or what the text is mostly about, must have supporting detail sentences. It's similar to the palm of your hand. The palm of your hand is the main idea, and the fingers extending out are supporting details. You need both parts to accomplish things. Students were super creative and had a lot of fun trying to figure out classmates main idea bags. Check out the pictures below.
