all right good morning 6f we are back again with some more notes I am so so proud of you guys I took notes yesterday and sent me pictures of it that was really awesome anime my little teacher heart quite so today we're going to be talking about central idea and textual evidence when writing in Galaxy colors today all right so if you've already if you've not done these or you not pass on your goal is try to get an 80% or higher and I'm aiming for at 80% instead of a 70 because you know you're stuck at home you have time to do this and we got over these several times by now so you guys should know what to be doing if you've already passed it a real high score if you've gotten 100% then try to test yourself and even see if you can get a hundred percent again k who's the two topics you have for today on study island or if you have the packet some of the packets don't have the sections labeled if you get confused about you need to do just to shoot me a message heart so we know that central idea and main idea mean the same thing right in the butt the central idea and the main idea really is is what the passage most is mostly talking about are mostly covers however I remember central idea is not the topic does not equal topic right your topic is your overall arching like thing that you are talking about in a passage or central idea is going to be what do they want you to learn about that topic remember example before about the kids who watch too much TV right now we discovered that the topic was kids that watch too much TV and the main idea or the central idea of it was that kids are watching TV two times more on average than they were 10 years ago right that would be your central idea or topic TV or central idea what we can learn about people's TV habits K remember that there's a difference break it down first by writing down what the topic is and asking yourself what the central idea is that way you know that you're separating your topic from your central idea erase my line o l you can ask yourself so so you can double-check that you have the right Charles ideas you can ask yourself why did the author write this so like what was their purpose was it to entertain was it to give us information was it to convince us to do something right what is the point there going to make so for example going back to the TV example write the point that they were trying to make is that people are watching way more TV now than they used to. This can be harmful for if you're just stuck outside and stuck inside all day occluded front of a TV yay right you can ask yourself what is the passage most play about again this question will help you narrow it down to your topic which you can then use to make a more specific meaning clear detailed central idea and then the last thing you can ask yourself is what I D is conveyed which we know means shown right in the passage so what is the thing that they're trying to show you it's kind of like if you were to write an article about how you think the PlayStation 4 is better than the Xbox right cuz they close obviously is you know you would be asking yourself what idea am I trying to convey here I'm trying to tell people that the PS4 is better than the Xbox because of these various things about it right and that would be your central idea there stop it would be the PS4 vs the Xbox but your central idea would then be the fact that you think the PS4 is better because of whatever reason it's like it's Graphics of storage space the fact that it is God of War an XBox doesn't you know all that stuff okay central idea what is the passage mostly talking about why did the author write this what point are they trying to make it should be specific K main ideas or Central ideas are specific meaning that they have to have details speaking of details one way that you double-check that you have the main idea cuz they're supporting details right and supporting details are sentences from the text explain describe and support the central idea so if you remember correctly when we use supporting details right and we incorporate with our central idea we are quoting directly from the text remember that box I used to have you guys made with the three right you're a central idea would go in here supporting details right and this one is in your own words but all of your supporting details here okay these are movie quotes from the text XO central idea in your own words and then you should have at least three details that support that central idea because that's how you double-check that you have the right central idea can you think of these as textual evidence which leads us into our next one that textual evidence is anytime you take details from the text like you're supporting details and you use them to support something right so let's go back to our PS4 example if we were going to explain to somebody that the PlayStation 4 was better we would have to have evidence that shows that the PlayStation 4 is better be there Graphics beat the amount of games that they have the accessibility Crosstrek hold that would be evidence we're supporting details that will go to support your central idea of the PS4 is better case of textual evidence as you guys know because I had I say it like every single day of your lives are details text explain describe or support something, it's your way of double-checking how do you know this is the right answer because if you have textual evidence that supports something it's probably the right answer if you're looking around and you see that there's nothing in there that's going to support it probably the wrong answer right so that's how you double check yourself so Tech evidence these two direct quotes from the text at least for now when you get older it's going to change a little bit before now you should know that you're supporting details in your textual evidence are direct quotes from the text K where's your central idea is in your own words if it helps when you're doing Study Island to make the three boxes and get your supporting details then do that K because I know that that's the way I've been teaching you did you guys have any questions shoot me a message on dojo or leave a comment below the dojo post and I will be more than happy to help you if you guys are going to do great at this I think you guys have been doing really really nice job
