Learning Objective
Students will read a nonfiction passage and identify the main idea and three key supporting details. Students will identify the best title for a passage, based on its main idea.
Description
Teaching students to identify the main idea and supporting details can be incredibly challenging! It doesn't have to be tedious and boring, too! If you are looking for a step-by-step PowerPoint that can be used to introduce main idea and supporting details to your students in a way that will grab their attention, you've come to the right place! I use ice cream cone graphics so that students will build a meaningful connection that will help them remember and understand how details support the main idea!
The first half of this 49-slide PowerPoint lesson explains how a main idea is supported by details. The second half of the PowerPoint features four nonfiction practice passages. With each passage, students identify the main idea, three supporting details, and the best title for the passage.
PowerPoints filled with visuals are ideal for teaching new content to students because PowerPoints tend to be highly engaging and concepts can be easily broken down into understandable chunks of information. But let's face it... they are so time-consuming to create! Fortunately, now you have an option of using one that is already complete, kid-tested, and ready to go for you!

Slides 1-5- Introduction and Definition of Main Idea

Here's what teachers like you have to say about this PowerPoint:
⭐️ Jordan H. said, "This is the perfect resource to use to introduce main idea!! My students found it so engaging and really developed their understanding of main idea while completing it."
⭐️ Connie S. said, "My students really needed help with Main Idea, so I decided to look at materials for a lower grade level than 6th grade. This lesson fit the bill perfectly! I used it to scaffold instruction...Ultimately, this material served as the foundation of our study of 6th-grade main idea, and the class progressed from here to grade-level materials. Awesome!"
⭐️ Angie B. said, "Teaching main idea to my students is always a bit challenging because they struggle so much. This lesson made it easy to teach and understand. My students had fun and felt successful!"
⭐️ Kaitlyn M. said, "An awesome resource and does a great job of clearly explaining the main idea and details! Love that it breaks it down with an analogy and that it includes several short stories and follow-up questions!"
