Main Ideas
  • The main idea is the central, or most important, idea in a paragraph or passage. It states the purpose and sets the direction of the paragraph or passage. 
  •  The main idea may be stated or it may be implied.
  •  When the main idea of a paragraph is stated, it is most often found in the first sentence of the paragraph. However, the main idea may be found in any sentence of the paragraph. 
  •  The main idea may be stated in the first sentence of a paragraph and then be repeated or restated at the end of the paragraph.

Slide 9 - Slide

Main Ideas
  • The main idea may be split. The first sentence of a paragraph may present a point
    of view, while the last sentence presents a contrasting or opposite view. 
  • To find the main idea of any paragraph or passage, ask these questions:
1. Who or what is the paragraph about?
2. What aspect or idea about the ‘who’ or ‘what’ is the author concerned with?

Main Idea?
"It is often said that lightning never strikes twice in the same place, but this isn’t true. Go ask the forest rangers. Rangers who spend their summers as fire-fighters will tell you that  every thundershower brings several bolts of lightning to their lookout stations. "


Slide 11 - Slide

Main Idea?
"Costs were low that year and the output high. There was a good person for each job and the market remained firm. There were no losses from fire. All in all it was the best years  in the history of the company."

Slide 12 - Slide

Main Idea?
"Do you wear glasses? Make sure your glasses fit well. The earpieces should be at eye level. Don’t try to adjust the earpieces yourself. Take your glasses for adjustments to the place  you bought them. Keep your glasses in a case when you’re not wearing them. This will  prevent scratches. Keep the lenses clean. A soft cloth is best for cleaning. "
