When you research for information, you:
Need to think about the kinds of questions you have about your topic - these will form your "Main Idea"
Research plenty of interesting facts
Select the facts that support your "Main Idea". These are your "Supporting Details"
Write out your "Main Idea" and "Supporting Details" to form paragraphs.
Have a go at trying this technique:
Look at the topic ‘Our Spinning Planet’
What kinds of questions might you ask about this topic (eg "What are features of Earth?", "Does the Earth spin?")
Below, are 10 facts that were found (these are supporting details)
In your small groups, organise the 10 facts into 3 "Main Idea" topics.
The Earth’s rotation (spin) is gradually slowing.
The moon is the only natural satellite of the planet Earth.
The Earth is shaped like a slightly flattened sphere.
The Earth moves around the sun.
The Earth rotates in an anti-clockwise direction.
Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth.
Coral reefs are the largest living structures on Earth.
Earth may once have had two moons.
The Earth’s atmosphere extends to 10,000 km above sea level.
The oceans cover 70% of the Earth’s surface.
Group these 10 facts into 3 groups that contain similar facts.
Give them a "Main Idea" label.
2. Order these three groups from the least important to the most important based on the number of facts and the level of interest.
3. Plot these three groups on the Informative Writing Graph template.
4. Brain storm ideas for a Sizzling Start and an Ending with Impact and add these to the graph.
