Main+Idea

=Main Idea =
 * GIST: After reading “Itse Selu,” students will create a GIST for the book, which summarizes what the book was about in 10 or less words.
 * Using the same main idea as “Featherboy and the Buffalo,” students will rewrite the book set in a different time period.
 * Students trace their hands onto a piece of paper. Then the students write a paragraph about their hands. The main idea goes in the palm and the four supporting sentences go on each of the fingers. After everyone is finished, the children can cut their hand stories out so that they can be displayed on a neat bulletin board.
