6. Every text or chapter has a main idea meaning what’s the whole point of the text. The supporting details are evidence that support the main idea. There’s two kind of details major and minor details. Major explains the main idea and the minor clears the major details. You can use outlines or maps to show main ideas and supporting details.
This can help me in other classes maybe like to take notes using the outlines or maps to show the important things.
7. When writing you can outline to help you write. An outline is a list that support the point. When writing you need to stay on point don’t go off topic this will make your paper stronger. When writing you need to show specific details, provide solid support for a point.

ReplyDeleteSupporting Detail: 1. "We must accept responsibility for a problem before we can solve it."

The inference I can make about this story is that their will be people out there always having excuses for their problems they won't solve anything like that.
2. Main Idea: "For me to be in college is highly improbable."

6. Chapter 3 is mainly about main idea and supporting details in reading. Where you can find the main idea is usually on the first paragraph or in the story you are reading. Also you need to find evidence or examples on the sentence that makes you think support the main idea. Outlines is the supporting details have major and minor details of the main idea. The major supports the main idea and the minor supports the details of the sentence. Outlines are lists that show the important part of the piece of writing. This can help me in another class by understanding what I am reading and also how I can show and be specific about what the text is trying to say.
7.Chapter 4 is about understanding the main point and how to support your outline. Also don't get off topic think of your point as the bulls eye make sure to aim for the middle because if you don't your proving point will be irrelevant. Provide a solid point on specific details. You will be a better writer if you use specific details and get to know what you are talking about. This will help me in another class by having a better writing understanding the professors will know what I'm talking about because I will show details and proof about what I talk about.
