Additional Strategies for Determining Importance 1. Finding Important Information Rather than Just One Main Idea
Purpose: Understanding that there are often several important ideas in a piece of text rather than a single main idea
Responses: Three sticky notes, each one coded * to mark three important ideas in the text. o The main idea of this strategy is to show student that there is more than one important idea in anything they read. Have students read the same text independently, placing their * sticky notes next to three areas that they feel are important to the text. After everyone has read the material, come back together as a class and to discuss the reading, each student and the teacher shares what he or she has determined to be important in the text. Naturally, there will not be a unified agreement, and that is the point. Ask students to defend their stance, cite evidence, and explain the thinking behind their decision. This contributes to student’s capacity to speak out about what they think, and it reminds them that text includes many important concepts and issues, not just a single main idea.
2. Important to Whom?
Purpose: Understanding that there may be a difference between what the reader thinks is most important and the writer’s big idea
Response: Response notebooks. o One of the primary reasons that kids have trouble picking out the most important information is that in a sense they are asking themselves,
“Important to Whom?” In other words, what the reader thinks is most important is not necessarily the author’s main idea. Teachers should teach their students to make a distinction between what they think is most important to remember and what the writer wants them to take away from the article. So when the teacher asks the students to write down the main idea, first ask them to write down something they learned that they thig is important to remember. Then ask them to draw a line under that response and write down what they think the author most wanted them to remember. Generally, students are better at picking out the main idea if they are first given the opportunity to write down what they think is most important first, and then refer to the author’s point.
